Consultant - Technology M&A

Do you want to build unique competencies and a rewarding career in one of the fastest growing M&A advisories in Europe?

BearingPoint Capital is seeking Consultants to join our global M&A team in London, specifically within our Technology Due Diligence service.

As part of BearingPoint Capital, you will have the opportunity to fast‑track your career in a start‑up‑like environment within a large organisation, gaining competencies and skills through a wide variety of challenging M&A projects for top‑tier clients. Our client base is rapidly expanding and includes Private Equity firms, family offices, corporates, and strategic investors.

Our M&A service offerings are designed for companies where technology is central to the business strategy and investment thesis.
