Corporate Finance Manager

Title: Manager, Corporate Finance Advisory

Location: South East

Salary: Competitive + bonus + package

is working with a growing UK advisory group, to hire a deal-experienced Manager into its growing South East corporate finance team.

This opportunity sits within a genuine growth business, with live deal flow from day one and plenty of transaction exposure to develop. It's a strong fit for a qualified accountant a few years into their corporate finance journey, who wants to run deals hands-on, broaden their transaction experience, and progress toward Senior Manager / Associate Director on a platform that's actively expanding across the South East.

The Role

Reporting to the senior deal team, you'll be running live corporate finance transactions day-to-day - predominantly sell-side lead advisory - and taking real ownership of execution with limited senior oversight. Typical responsibilities:

• Running deals day-to-day: managing the process, timetable and work streams from engagement through to completion.
• Drafting information memoranda, teasers and other transaction materials, and preparing financial analysis and valuations.
• Leading and supporting due diligence, and working through SPA and completion mechanics.
• Attending and helping run client and buyer/investor meetings.
• Supervising, coaching and reviewing the work of junior team members.
• Working alongside colleagues and office leads to convert opportunities from the wider client base.

Core requirements

• A qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CA or equivalent), or QBE with strong, demonstrable deal experience.
• Solid corporate finance / lead advisory experience - comfortable running deals with limited senior input.
• Good working knowledge of the transaction lifecycle: IM drafting, financial modelling/valuation, due diligence, SPA and completion mechanics.
• Sell-side weighted, while credible across broader lead advisory work.
• Pragmatic, hands‑on and personable - happy working across a regional office model rather than a single central‑London base, and comfortable being mobile across the South East.
• No requirement to bring a personal pipeline; deals are fed from the existing client base.

Nice to have

• Clear ambition to progress toward Senior Manager / Associate Director - genuine, delivery‑linked progression is on offer.
