Consultant Corporate Finance - Debt Advisory

Do you want to work in M&A with top clients and the best finance professionals? Do you want to deepen your knowledge and experience with M&A and Debt Advisory?

Our client is seeking a Corporate Finance consultant knowledgeable in Debt Advisory. It is an independent European boutique advisory firm with a well‑known name specialising in finance and treasury, holding a prominent position as a financial advisor to major Dutch corporations. This might be your opportunity to work in a mid‑size firm with top professionals!

Due to its significant growth, the company is looking to strengthen the corporate finance/debt advisory team, with vendor diligence experience a prerequisite. In recent years the practice has expanded into mid‑corporate debt advisory and corporate finance advice, assisting with mergers and acquisitions, valuation issues and occasionally providing financing advice. The client offers specialised financial advice at the highest level and has a reputation to uphold.

We are looking for a solid and motivated linchpin who relishes the challenge of advising family‑owned businesses operating nationally and internationally. The ideal candidate aims to further develop the practice, oversee various projects with a passionate team, and act as a point of contact for both clients and junior consultants and analysts.

The firm combines the benefits of a smaller organisation with the professionalism of a larger advisory firm. You will collaborate with enthusiastic and highly educated professionals, have direct client contact and ample opportunity for initiative to directly impact outcomes.
