UP TO £55,000 + BENEFITS

An established and expanding Corporate Finance team is looking to appoint a commercially driven Corporate Finance Executive.

• Support Corporate Finance transactions from initial engagement through to completion.
• Work predominantly on sell‑side mandates, including transactions involving private equity.
• Assist senior team members with project delivery and transaction management.
• Build strong working relationships with clients, investors and professional advisers.
• Undertake company, transaction, market and sector research.
• Analyse financial information and identify key commercial trends.
• Prepare financial models, valuation analysis and supporting transaction materials.
• Draft information memoranda and other marketing documents.
• Contribute to client proposals, presentations and pitch meetings.
• Coordinate information requests and support the due diligence process.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across Corporate Finance and the wider practice.
• Contribute to the continued development and growth of the team.

• ACA, ACCA or equivalently qualified.
• Experience gained within Corporate Finance, transaction services, audit, accounts or a related advisory environment.
• Previous Corporate Finance experience is advantageous but not essential.
• Strong financial analysis, modelling and Excel skills.
• Commercially aware with a genuine interest in transactions and deal‑making.
