Start your job searchI am currently partnered with a Corporate Finance Advisory who are looking to add an Analyst to their team.
My client specialises in pension scheme covenant advice the business portray themselves as a corporate finance advisory compared to their competitors in the covenant advisory space as you could be supporting scheme valuation negotiations on one day, and advising on the scheme impacts of a corporate transaction the next.
In 2019 alone, they advised several schemes with high-profile sponsors, including M&A activity and distress scenarios.
Analysts look after a number of clients, advising them through ongoing and project-based work. This typically involves analysing financial statements, management forecasts, and pension scheme information.
What the company does:

- Corporate deal advisory: this naturally extends into corporate transaction advisory, where they assess and rate the impact of a corporate event (such as M&A, refinancing, restructuring, etc.) on the company's, or group's, creditworthiness, and actively support negotiations to maintain or improve the creditor's access to funds after the fact.
- Regulatory intervention advice: TPR actively engages with UK DB schemes, using its powers to protect scheme members' benefits. They work with trustees and company management to: i) identify and mitigate the risk of regulator intervention; and ii) ensure compliance with TPR enforcement actions

- Financial statement analysis, including:
- Identifying and explaining trends in profit and loss statements;

- High-level analysis of actuarial valuations (no previous actuarial knowledge required)
- Critical analysis of management forecasts
- Draft reports in PowerPoint and Word (of above analysis)
- Day-to-day project management, including ownership of invoicing, calendar management, and meeting administration
- Monitor news-feeds and alerts for personal portfolio of clients
- Prepare pitch documents and, on occasion, presenting at pitches
- Present analysis to external stakeholders, including senior management teams at sponsors and trustee boards
- Record information from meetings, with both internal teams and external stakeholders
