Mergers and Acquisitions Consultant

As a M&A Consultant / Financial Analyst, you will play a central role in supporting and driving Nextview's acquisition strategy across Europe. This is a hybrid position that blends core M&A consulting responsibilities with broader financial analysis work, offering an exciting opportunity to further develop your analytical and commercial skill set.

The role is designed for someone who already brings hands-on experience in M&A, especially in due diligence, valuation, and financial modelling, while also being eager to expand their capabilities within a broader financial analyst context. Over the next years, Nextview anticipates completing 1-2 acquisitions, with additional opportunities emerging as part of our long-term growth vision. You will collaborate closely with our internal finance team and external M&A advisors (activated at later transactional stages), ensuring you are fully involved without needing to independently lead the entire end-to-end process.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

Your time will be split roughly 50% on M&A work and 50% on financial analysis and ad-hoc strategic projects , giving you a diverse and challenging scope.

M&A Focus (approx. 50%)

• Conduct financial analysis, valuation, and due diligence for potential acquisition targets.
• Perform DCF analyses, comparable company analyses (CCA), and precedent transaction analyses (PTA).
• Assist in monitoring market trends and competitor activity to identify potential acquisition opportunities across EU markets.
• Prepare presentations, investment memorandums, and decision-making materials for leadership.
• Contribute to the assessment and refinement of strategic growth opportunities as we expand our European footprint.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams - including legal, operations, and leadership to support acquisition execution.
• Partner with our external M&A advisors during later transaction phases.

Financial Analysis & Strategic Support (approx. 50%)

• Support day-to-day and ad-hoc financial analysis across the business.
• Build and maintain financial models to support forecasting, strategic decisions, and investment considerations.
• Provide insights that help leadership understand financial implications of business initiatives.
• Work closely with the finance team to ensure high-quality, data-driven decision-making.

ABOUT YOU

You are someone who combines strong analytical capabilities with the curiosity and drive to explore a broad range of financial and strategic challenges. You enjoy the fast-paced nature of M&A work but also value having a varied scope that lets you grow beyond pure transactional responsibilities.

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
• 3-5 years of work experience , ideally blending financial analysis with hands-on M&A consulting exposure - particularly in valuation, modelling, and due diligence.
• Proven experience working with financial models and supporting strategic recommendations.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and translate it into clear insights.
• Strong communication and presentation abilities, able to tailor messaging to both financial and non-financial audiences.
• Language skills: Dutch is a nice-to-have; German or Swedish would be an advantage but not essential.
• Based in the Netherlands, ideally with the ability to be in Eindhoven two days per week.
