  • Build and maintain strong, trusted client and adviser relationships.
  • Lead project teams, manage workstreams, and coordinate with external advisers (tax, legal, commercial, financial).
  • Drive origination and business development, supporting the growth of the practice.
  • Mentor, develop, and supervise junior team members, fostering a collaborative, high-performance culture.
  • Report to Directors/Partners, providing clear recommendations and commercial insight.
  • Ensure delivery standards, compliance, and quality control throughout each engagement.

The role can be based from our Leeds or Manchester

About You

  • Professional qualification (ACA/ACCA/ICAS or equivalent) with 3+ years post-qualification experience in corporate finance, transaction services, or advisory.
  • Proven track record of successful deal execution (buy-side and sell-side) in a professional services environment.
  • Proven ability to prepare and present high-quality client deliverables.
  • Advanced technical skills: ideally with experience of financial modelling, valuations, and analytical review.
