Build Relationships. Win Mandates. Become a Trusted M&A Advisor.

Leadenhall Search is partnering with one of the world's premier M&A advisory platforms as it continues to invest heavily in the expansion of its integrated M&A advisory business across the US.

This isn't simply another Financial Due Diligence opportunity.

It's a chance to move beyond traditional FDD and become a trusted M&A advisor, working alongside elite deal makers on complex transactions while building the commercial skills, client relationships, and business development capabilities that define the industry's most successful leaders.

If your ambition is to become more than an exceptional diligence professional, this platform provides one of the clearest paths to getting there.

• Build relationships. Win mandates. Become a trusted M&A advisor!
• Learn business development from some of the industry's leading M&A professionals.
• Build your own private equity network and client portfolio earlier in your career.
• Move beyond execution into genuine client ownership and commercial leadership.
• Help shape one of the fastest-growing M&A advisory platforms in the market.

• Lead complex buy-side and sell-side engagements alongside elite M&A bankers, capital markets professionals, valuation specialists, and senior deal advisors.
• Move beyond traditional FDD into a broader, commercially focused M&A advisory role.
• Build your own client relationships, originate opportunities, and establish yourself as a trusted advisor to leading private equity firms.
• Gain hands-on exposure to business development, cross-selling, and practice building far earlier than within most traditional advisory platforms.
• Develop your own network and personal brand with the support of an exceptional leadership team committed to mentoring future business leaders.
• Be recognised not just for executing transactions, but for building relationships, winning mandates, and helping grow the business.

We're interested in speaking with professionals from:

• Big 4 Financial Due Diligence / Transaction Advisory

• Corporate Finance & M&A Advisory

You’ll ideally bring:

• Over 6 years of buy-side and sell-side FDD and M&A experience
• Significant private equity transaction exposure
• Experience leading engagements and managing teams
• A commercial mindset with the ambition to build long-term client relationships
• CPA (or equivalent) preferred

The professionals who excel on this platform aren't just exceptional diligence practitioners; they're commercially minded relationship builders with the ambition to become recognised market leaders.

If you're looking to build your own franchise, become a trusted advisor to leading private equity investors, and accelerate your path towards Managing Director within a Tier-1 M&A platform, this represents one of the most compelling opportunities currently available.

All conversations will be handled with the strictest confidence.
