About the Company
A well-established professional services firm with a strong Corporate Finance practice, advising clients across a broad range of transactions, including acquisitions, disposals, fundraising, refinancing and due diligence. The team works closely with business owners, investors and management teams to deliver real commercial value at every stage of the deal lifecycle. VERY active in NI and wider UK market.
The Role
This is a Manager-level opportunity within a Corporate Finance team, suited to someone with genuine transactions and deals experience, ideally including financial due diligence. You'll play a lead role across the full deal lifecycle: originating and structuring opportunities, leading due diligence and valuation work, and supporting clients through negotiation and completion. It's a broad, client-facing role for someone who wants genuine variety across deal types rather than a narrow, single-discipline remit.
Key Responsibilities
● Lead and support M&A, fundraising, disposal and refinancing engagements from origination through to completion
● Lead financial due diligence workstreams on buy-side and sell-side transactions
● Build and review financial models and valuations to support deal structuring and negotiation
● Prepare information memoranda, business plans and other transaction documentation
● Manage engagement teams, workplans and deliverable timelines
● Build and maintain strong client relationships across the deal lifecycle
● Support business development activity, including proposals, pitches and market origination
● Coach and develop junior team members
What You'll Need
Essential:
● Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent)
● Genuine transactions and deals experience, ideally including financial due diligence
● Big 4 background strongly preferred
● Strong financial modelling and valuation skills
● Comfortable managing client relationships and engagement teams
● Excellent communication and report-writing skills
Desirable:
● Experience across a range of sectors and deal sizes
● Experience supporting business development and proposal work
● Experience with deal origination and client pitching
Why Apply
● Genuine Manager-level ownership across the full deal lifecycle, not just one discipline
● Broad exposure across sectors, deal types and transaction stages
● Clear progression within a growing Corporate Finance practice
