What are your main responsibilities within your current role?
The responsibilities within the Analytics Consultant role at Almond Solon involved a lot of due diligence projects for private equity firms. This meant conducting quantitative and qualitative analysis on companies that these firms intended to buy.
On the qualitative front, I conducted interviews with subject matter experts through third-party vendors. This was to benchmark assumptions used in quantitative analysis and modeling, which involved forecasting based on target company financials and assessing industry growth. The ultimate goal was to provide recommendations to the private equity firm.
Beyond due diligence, there were general consulting skills involved, such as client and stakeholder management. Additionally, there were internal projects within the consultancy, like leading an employee resource group (Women at Almond Solon) or organizing events and panel talks, contributing to the company's engagement and culture.
