From the inside

Reasons that work in interviews

4 reasons for Deloitte Corporate Finance

One reason works across this whole category and is worth using once, in your own words: this is where you learn the diligence side of a deal, which is the half most bankers never see. Saying you want to understand what a quality of earnings actually tested before you start relying on one is a better answer than anything about brand, and it sets up the “why banking later” question cleanly rather than making it awkward.

1. 1

   Largest financial advisory practice in Canada, with restructuring and debt advisory alongside M&A rather than as separate firms.

2. 2

   Restructuring exposure is counter-cyclical: the skill keeps working when M&A does not.

3. 3

   Breadth of practice means you can move between advisory, diligence and restructuring without changing firm.

4. 4

   National footprint gives access to mandates outside Toronto, which matters if you want to stay in your region.
