ABN AMRO Corporate Finance

ABN AMRO Corporate Finance

ABN AMRO Corporate Finance is a leading strategic and financial advisor offering a full range of investment banking services. The department is headquartered at the Amsterdam Zuidas and is split into two sector-agnostic teams (M&A Execution and Capital Structuring & Advisory), as well as several M&A sector teams. These sector teams focus on three transition themes: New Energies, Digital & Consumer and Mobility & Manufacturing, whilst servicing clients in segments such as Financial Institutions and Shipping as well. Our team of around 80 colleagues supports our clients daily with strategic and financial advice.

ABN AMRO’s unique rotation programme consists of two years of M&A rotations in different sector teams and one year to explore other specialities within the Corporate Bank, offering you the opportunity to become an all-round investment banker. At ABN AMRO you’ll be on top of the market from the start, meeting with internal and external clients on a daily basis whilst working in close collaboration with clients during the execution phase of a deal.
