Our Work Environment

Employee Testimonials

I have enjoyed the last seven years working at Duff & Phelps and previously Kinetic Partners for many reasons including the variety of interesting projects we undertake, good communication channels to and from senior management, feeling empowered to help shape the direction of the team strategically and feeling supported by team members that instinctively help each other. Helping a broad range of clients is particularly rewarding and the nature of the role means that I'm always learning and meeting new people.

Simon Appleton
Director, Regulatory Consulting, London
I have been with Duff & Phelps’ Transaction Advisory Services practice for almost four years and I have had excellent experience, both professional and personal. I work with some of the smartest people in this business and have worked on numerous professionally fulfilling engagements. My job affords me the opportunity to analyze different companies and meet and work with new people on almost a monthly basis. We work hard and provide our clients with the best possible service, but at the same time my position provides me the flexibility I need with a family.

Don Levy
Director, M&A Transaction Advisory, New York
It's not what you might expect when you think of us, but at Duff & Phelps, there's room for personality. Everyone is not cut from the same cloth—but we bring the same quality and rigor to our work. And I appreciate that my role forces me to think both technically and commercially. The combination is very powerful.

Rishi Aswani
Director, Valuation Services, Mumbai
Why have I been at Duff & Phelps for almost 16 years? I've developed strong working relationships with both clients and colleagues. And with the ever-changing economic and regulatory environment and the continued complex situations our clients face, the valuation work I perform continues to be both interesting and challenging. On top of that, the flexibility we're given as professionals in meeting the needs of our clients allows me to maintain a good balance in my life.

As a Managing Director at Duff & Phelps I am very happy with the direction of the firm, our senior management and the firm’s engagement and support of our people.

Monique Melis
Managing Director, Regulatory Consulting, London
There are two key aspects I have enjoyed most about my time so far at Duff & Phelps. First is the entrepreneurial approach to career advancement, meaning being given the opportunity to constantly put myself into more challenging roles in project execution and client relationship building. The second is the integrated culture and mentality throughout the firm – continually interacting with and learning from individuals across all experience levels and technical specializations within finance. An environment like that is crucial for the highly motivated.

Isaac Maddox
Associate, Corporate Finance,

What I enjoy most about Duff & Phelps is our people. I enjoy it so much, in fact, that this is my second time working here at the firm. In my previous role, I managed the recruiting efforts for our Corporate Finance Group hiring everyone from Interns to Managing Directors for that group. In my current role I lead our Global Sourcing efforts which basically means my entire job is finding exceptional candidates, getting them excited about Duff & Phelps and bringing them on board.

Duff & Phelps has been a great place for me to advance my career both in terms of the technical side of valuation and the experience of working on really challenging issues that matter to our clients. Duff & Phelps has a strong reputation in the valuation community and is a trusted brand by many of the top U.S. companies. It is a great place to work with a truly collaborative environment for reaching your goals as a valuation professional.

Director, Tax Services,

I am a member of the FAMIS practice based out The Shard, London office. My primary role is business development for the UK and Middle East. I also sit on the recently formed Global FAMIS committee. Being in business development, for me, the thing that keeps my engine turning at full speed is all of the untapped connections and ‘what if’s’ in our business. What if we communicate better globally? What if I knew more about my colleagues? What if all just give this a go? The possibilities and open goals here at Duff & Phelps really are plentiful and there for the taking.

Exposure

Employee Testimonials

Since I previously worked for American Appraisal working at Duff & Phelps was not a choice of my own, but has proven to be the right mix for me. Opportunities to travel, real sense of responsibility, exposure to clients but at the same time proximity to all levels of management in order to discuss your findings/conclusions and a solid training which has enabled me to face with confidence any type of assignment. All I was looking for in my desired job.

As my first job after graduating from university, Duff & Phelps has provided me with the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, as well as supporting me through the process of qualifying as a chartered accountant. The communication within my team from Managing Director to Analyst is excellent and makes for a great work environment.

With the diversity of financial services offerings at Duff & Phelps, we have the opportunity to work on so many interesting and high-profile matters. One of the biggest differences I've found here compared to other places I've worked is the chance to market across service lines in order to sell bigger, more lucrative, and more engaging work.
