About KPMG In Malaysia's Corporate Finance Department

KPMG in Malaysia's Corporate Finance (CF) practice provides a full suite of advisory services to support clients throughout the deal lifecycle—from strategy formulation to execution of complex transactions.

Our multidisciplinary team works closely with private and public sector organizations, financial institutions, investors, and government-linked entities to help clients make informed and strategic decisions. The practice is structured into three core service segments:

Valuation Services - Business & equity valuations, intangible assets, financial reporting fair value, and litigation support.
Deal Advisory- Mergers & acquisitions (M&A), buy-side/sell-side support, transaction structuring, investment appraisal, and capital market schemes.
Strategy Advisory - Corporate and capital market advisory, financial modelling, business plans, feasibility and commercial studies, and market assessments.

By joining the Corporate Finance team, you will be part of a dynamic, analytical, and highly collaborative environment that plays a critical role in shaping major financial and strategic decisions across diverse industries.

Why this Opportunity Stands Out

Exposure to high-impact, strategic work across M&A, valuation, strategy, and financial modelling.
Opportunity to work with leading companies, financial institutions, regulators and private equity investors.
Structured development through hands-on experience, technical training, and mentorship from experienced leaders.
Rapid career progression for high-performing individuals due to the breadth of learning and responsibility.
Multiindustry exposure, providing rich insight into markets, business models, and strategic decision-making.
Collaboration with regional and global KPMG networks, expanding professional expertise and international perspectives.
