Reasons that work in interviews

4 reasons for KPMG 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

   Among the highest mid-market deal counts in Canada, so you see complete processes repeatedly rather than one large mandate per year.

2. 2

   Global network means genuine cross-border flow on mid-market mandates, which independents at this size cannot match.

3. 3

   Corporate finance sits beside transaction services and valuations, so you can see how a deal is diligenced and advised in the same building.

4. 4

   CBV and CPA pathways are supported, which is a real asset if you want the Canadian valuation credential.
