I’ve never seen them do FDD. They mostly do strategy work, commercial due diligence, and operational due diligence (standalone and synergy work)

It doesn’t exist. It’s lower-margin commodity work compared to their main offerings.

Fdd is essentially a commodity. No one cares which firm does it just get it done and move on.

The question is how to go from FDD to CDD, ODD and such..

Is it really lower margin or lower fews? Fdd is 5% higher margin at EY compared to ey-p but fees much lower.

EYP margins are higher than EY FDD. We use your excel hour trackers for simplicity but not what actually gets entered in system.

M1, what’s a typical career path + exits for someone in commercial due diligence?

Generally strategy roles at F500 companies (or other consulting roles).
