I’m starting a new role in M&A consulting services for Deloitte as a manager soon. I have experience in accounting and management consulting but looking for any tips or advice for joining M&A focused advisory. The team mainly focuses on integration / separation and some wrap around strategy work. Please dm me or comment!

They hired you at manager level without any actual transaction experience? They just be really looking to hire.

Integration / separation SoWs can vary a lot. From being a glorified PM for the client, monitoring meetings, pushing deadlines etc. to doing actual work in synergies and transformation.

Your skills as I understand them will be somewhat useful but be prepared to tackle learning the toolkit required as well as manager responsibilities.

The role is at a big 4 so my experience at another helped I imagine. The way the role was described to me is it’s consulting in the context of M&A so some transferable skills but a definite learning curve to begin with.
In terms of certifications, I’ve got my CA (CPA equivalent in Australia) and a prince 2 practitioner certification for project management.
