Finance Executive - Corporate Finance Team (M&A Focus)

Are you currently working in a practice accountancy firm and looking to make your move into the fast-paced world of M&A? This is your opportunity to join a dynamic and growing Corporate Finance team where your technical foundation will be valued - and your ambition, rewarded.

🔍 About the Role

We're seeking a Finance Executive to support the execution of a wide range of corporate finance transactions, including acquisitions, disposals, management buy-outs, fundraising, and strategic advisory projects.

You'll work closely with senior team members on live deals from day one, gaining hands-on experience and exposure to clients across a broad range of sectors.

🧠 Who We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in candidates who:

  • Have trained within a practice accountancy firm, ideally with audit or transaction experience.
  • Are looking to transition into Corporate Finance/M&A and ready to build a long-term career in dealmaking.
  • Possess strong financial analysis, report writing, and Excel modelling skills.
  • Are confident communicators with the ability to liaise directly with clients and stakeholders.

This role is ideal for someone with a solid grounding in finance who is hungry to move into a more commercial, deal-focused environment.

🎯 Key Responsibilities

  • Assist in the preparation of business valuations and financial models.
  • Conduct financial due diligence and industry research.
  • Support deal origination and execution activities.
  • Prepare pitch decks, IMs (Information Memoranda), and client presentations.
  • Liaise with clients, investors, and other professional advisers throughout the deal process.

🤝 What We Offer

  • A clear pathway for progression within a growing Corporate Finance team.
  • The chance to work on live deals from the outset.
  • Supportive environment with on-the-job training and mentoring from experienced professionals.
  • A collaborative team culture that values curiosity, integrity, and drive.
  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
