“I didn’t map out my career journey in mind in terms of where I wanted to go and where I wanted to end up but what I learned along the way is that working with clients to solve M&A challenges is one of the most rewarding.” M&A Director Steve Mangal has worn many hats in his career. He started in banking, got an MBA, and then transitioned to consulting, where he has worked in operations, restructuring, and M&A practices along the way. Steve found M&A to be a dynamic field, and the scope and high stakes nature of these engagements highly valuable to his professional development and ability to build client relationships. “You’re working on a common goal with your client every day and what you accomplish together forms strong relationships. When you go through an intense experience like that and come out the other side successfully, there’s a real bond there. It’s unlike almost any other consulting project I've been a part of.” Steve joined AlixPartners five years ago in a corporate finance role—another new experience that directly exposed him to the day-to-day realities of his CFO clients—before he was asked to help build our M&A practice. Back in M&A, he is embracing the “symbiotic” nature of building the practice, growing the next generation of firm leaders, and furthering his own development. “As a director, there’s a level of ownership and responsibility to mature the practice, which means not only scaling the business but also growing our people and their careers. And that improves our client delivery, which builds our reputation in the market,” Steve said. “And I’m no different. My development comes from building, while at the same time, continuing to deliver great client service and be a part of these exciting teams working on deals that are never the same.” Learn more about M&A careers at AlixPartners here: #lifeatalixpartners #mergersandacquisitions #consultingjobs

CEO at Codingscape | We help busy technology executives get their product roadmaps live, on time and on budget
How I see the next 5-10 years playing out for the big 4 consultancies: - The consulting practices will be spun out from their audit businesses. - The technology practices will become more important than the management consulting practices. You can see this play out with BCG X. They’re having more success than the big 4 because they are highly technology-focused and have spun out the X group. I expect many firms will try to copy that. Does that mean they'll do a great job? Hard to say. When you have 10,000 consultants, certainly some are exceptional, but as a client, how can you be sure you're actually getting exceptional people when you're hiring a 10,000 or 100,000-person firm?

Experienced Wealth Management Master's Graduate | Financial Analyst at Husky Technologies | Expertise in Corporate Finance, Audit, AML & KYC | Ready to Drive Growth in Financial Services | Immediate Joiner in India
As a keen observer of financial markets, I am excited to highlight a significant move by Deutsche Bank's private division. The bank has slashed its spending on external consultants by an impressive 70%! This strategic decision marks a noteworthy shift towards cost efficiency and resource optimization. Such a substantial reduction not only reflects Deutsche Bank's commitment to prudent financial management but also signals a broader trend within the industry towards leveraging internal capabilities and driving innovation from within. This move could serve as a blueprint for other financial institutions aiming to enhance operational efficiency and achieve sustainable growth. It's fascinating to see how leading financial entities are evolving and adapting in today's dynamic market landscape. Kudos to Deutsche Bank for setting a new standard! #FinancialMarkets #DeutscheBank #CostEfficiency #StrategicManagement #Innovation #Banking #FinancialServices #Consulting #MarketTrends #SustainableGrowth #BusinessStrategy

On Monday, I wrote about how, In the past eight months, four major US accounting firms merged: Forvis with Mazars US, and CBIZ with Marcum. While there are benefits, as I noted, there are also some downsides for staff: 1. Job Uncertainty: Mergers often lead to restructuring, which can result in job cuts or changes in roles, causing uncertainty among employees. 2. Cultural Clashes: Merging firms with different cultures can create friction and disrupt workplace harmony, making it harder for employees to adjust. 3. Increased Workload: During the transition period, employees may face increased workloads and stress as they integrate new systems and processes. 4. Changes in Management: New management structures can lead to shifts in leadership styles and priorities, which might not align with employees' expectations. 5. Possible Relocation: Employees might be required to relocate or commute to different offices, disrupting their work-life balance. 6. Short-Term Disruption: The merging process can cause short-term chaos, with new policies and procedures needing time to settle. Have you experienced your firm merging with another? If so, how did it go for you?

Founder & Managing Partner at Patrick Morgan | Sourcing elite talent in Professional Services and Private Equity
Big 4 firms are actively seeking to attract senior executives directly from Corporations and Operating Partners from Private Equity into their ranks. These professionals are joining primarily as contractors to support specific client work, but also on occasion as fully-fledged equity partners. Historically, the Big 4 have primarily developed their Equity Partners from within or hired Partners directly from competitors, who come with the promise of an existing client base that can immediately add value to the business. The challenge with hiring non-consultants as Partners is that they seemingly cannot immediately provide new business to their new firm. However, the demands on consulting firms are changing. Clients now seek support from individuals who have been in their position before. In response, consulting firms are building benches of executives, retained by them, to engage in projects. These individuals are proving crucial in winning and delivering on complex client assignments. This strategic shift not only broadens the expertise and perspectives within the Big 4 firms but also aligns them more closely with client needs, ensuring they remain competitive in an evolving market. By integrating experienced industry professionals, the Big 4 can better navigate the complexities of modern business challenges, ultimately driving greater value for their clients.

From my experience, business and consulting firms are building new relationships that foster innovation, flexibility and faster execution. This bodes well for corporate profits, but will it also improve the performance of the overall economy? Only time will tell.

Quick Facts About The Big4 1. There Was the Big 8 Before the Big 4: - The Big 8 firms were: (1) Arthur Andersen, (2) Arthur Young & Co., (3) Coopers & Lybrand, (4) Ernst & Whiney, (5) Deloitte, Haskins & Sells, (6) KPMG, (7) Touché Ross, and (8) Price Waterhouse. The group was gradually reduced through a series of mergers and collapse of other members. 2. First Big 4 Member: - KPMG is technically the first member of the big four. The firm was formed in 1987 through the merger of Peat Marwick Mitchell and Klynveld Main Goerdeler. The consolidation marked the ascent of the Big 8 into what is known today as the Big 4. (Deloitte is the oldest member) 3. The Largest Company :- Deloitte is the largest company by employee size among the Big 4 accounting firms. In 2023, it has a total of 4,57,000 employees followed by EY with 3,95,442. 4. Company with the Largest Revenue:- Deloitte holds the record of having the largest revenue among the Big 4 for three consecutive years. In 2023, the firm recorded a $64.9B revenue as per Forbes' report. 5. Fortune Best 100 companies to work for :- Deloitee is ranked 17th in the list followed by PwC at 30 6. Location of Headquarters: - Of the Big 4, three of them are headquartered in Europe: EY, PwC, and KPMG. Deloitte is the lone American firm in the group. 7. Independent Overseas Operations: - Although the big four spans across major territories, none of them is a single firm. They are each a network of firms, ownedand managed independently, that agree to operate under the same name and general business terms. In this case, PwC Cambodia is completely independent of PwC Australia. source:- Wikipedia and Google LinkedIn LinkedIn Learning LinkedIn Guide to Creating #deloitte #kpmg #pwc #ey #google #big4 #facts

Which C-suite roles most frequently lead to the CEO seat? According to executive search company Crist|Kolder Associates, 8.4% of companies in the S&P 500 or Fortune 500 promoted a one-time CFO to CEO in 2023—a record number (from 5.8% in 2013). Headhunters also say that finance talent is in high demand in 2024 across the board. Moreover, there is a growing trend for new CEO appointments to be internal candidates, with 25% coming from a CFO background, according to Deloitte. The data also shows that external hiring of both CEOs and CFOs is on the rise for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. Why more CFOs are becoming CEOs? 🟢 In many cases, CFOs are common "emergency" succession candidates because they understand investors' perspectives and are skilled at communicating with shareholders. 🟢 CFOs play a significant role in M&A and the strategic decisions about what to acquire and divest and how to shape the business for the future. 🟢 They find ways to cultivate a growth orientation and risk tolerance. 🟢 They're strategic thinkers who often bring digital transformation to the table, providing solutions that will allow the company to reach higher ground. But, there can be some traps, too: ❗ Given the dynamism of today's markets, CEOs must play to win—not to avoid losing. CFOs can over rely on numbers and analysis in their communication and decision-making. ❗ Some still spend time in the CFO lane as a new CEO instead of naming a really competent successor to run the shop and do what they used to do. ❗ Sometimes, when CFOs take the helm, companies can lose sight of their primary mission: delivering quality products, not just maximising profits. Many CFOs become successful CEOs WHEN (and IF) they understand the importance of people and how that leads to numbers—not the other way around. 😊 Here is when wise to choose a CFO for a CEO role: 🧠 When the business is in trouble - in times of financial distress, a CFO can stabilise the company. 🧠 In the case of mergers and acquisitions - a CFO would be perfect for navigating complex financial transactions and integrations. Some recent successful stories of CFO to CEO strategic leadership that might be interesting to search up: ✔️ Safra Catz, CEO at Oracle ✔️ Shou Zi Chew, CEO at TikTok ✔️ James von Moltke, Deutsche Bank ✔️ Stephen M. Scheer, CEO at Hertz What's your opinion on this? Are CFOs the only ones successful in the CEO role? 🙂 #Leadership #Innovation #Sustainability #PersonalDevelopment #humanresources Olivera Coaching & Consulting
