Dear Friends,
I am a CA-Finalist and a CS, I want to have a career as a Merger & Amalgamation Consultant. What skills shall I develop and the path shall I choose to make a successful career in this field. I will highly grateful to you, if you kindly guide me to reach my goal.
Thank You.
Dear Mr Rahul
This can be answered only by experts working in Big4. My simple advise as a first step is to read the Book Titled "Mergers and Take Overs "Published by Bombay Chartered Accountants Society
i think you should do the post qualification course of ICSI in corpotate restructuring,which is going to be introduced soon.
You are already a CA+CS . I think you should complement your skill set with an MBA from a top institute. From there you can join any BIG 4 who have practice in M&A....My best wishes
It's Mergers and Acquisitions.. not Amalgamations.. It's extremely, extremely difficult to get a post in the core M&A business even for the brightest students. My friend, rank-holding CA, a CFA (US CFAI) and a very smart guy got referred by two people including me in GS but still dint get picked. Investment Banks hire a tiny number for the post every year. Maybe 1 or 2. Some years they don't hire at all! So dont wait for it. Keep working on an alternative thing while pursuing it.
