* To be eligible for the internship you must be enrolled at a university.
How does your work look like?
Valuations is the PwC department engaged with valuation matters. Their services may be required for M&A deals, but also for tax, accounting or strategic reasons. In this field, PwC’s Valuations department is the number one player in the Dutch market. Valuations benefit from its wide international network of professionals and count primarily multinationals among its clients. The Valuations department offers an intellectual challenge owing to the strong link between theory and practice. There is a direct link with current affairs: projects we have worked on appearing in the media soon after. Some examples of Valuations engagements:
- Fairness opinions with respect to mergers and acquisitions;
- Valuation of business units and intangible assets for the purposes of IFRS;
