Are you looking for an opportunity to bring your exceptional financial accountancy and interpersonal skills to an advisory team environment?  If so, we'd be very interested to discuss the possibility of you joining our high calibre corporate finance team as a Mergers & Acquisitions Transaction Advisor. Working closely with our senior advisory team, the M&A Transaction Advisor will take direct responsibility for business sale client projects.

You will possess exceptional commercial accountancy skills, be highly committed to quality and excellence, be able to demonstrate initiative, whilst having a down to earth "sleeves rolled up, can-do" attitude.  Strong interpersonal and written communication skills are absolutely necessary, as the role will have client facing, executive level exposure. Working as part of our transaction team, the M&A Transaction Advisor will be responsible for the day to day running of client disposal engagements and project managing those engagements to completion of the transactions. 

If you are an experienced ACCA Accountant and have previous M&A experience gained in either an accountancy firm or boutique corporate finance firm this would be of great interest to us, however, we are also interested to hear from qualified candidates who may not have M&A experience but have previously held a financial accountancy or Financial Director role and who would like to move into Corporate Finance. 

Whatever your previous experience you must possess first class account and project management skills and be able to work at senior and board level.

The role provides an exceptional candidate the opportunity to work with a high performing team, known for its deep industry expertise.  You will be self-motivated, proactive and enjoy a varied role, working with the senior team.  Our team moto is ‘no one of us is as smart as all of us’ and we demonstrate that by working in a highly collaborative, customer centric and quality improvement focused environment.
