After record-breaking results in 2024,  advising on transactions totalling more than £1 billion, our client is now looking to expand its lead advisory team.

The role will involve:

• Managing the day-to-day interactions on lead advisory assignments with a typical transaction value of up to £30 million.
• Helping to manage sales mandates from initial engagement to completion, including (partner-led) negotiations and client relationship management.
• Attending business development meetings, approaching potential buyers, and developing firm’s offering to new target markets.
• Preparing and reviewing Business valuations and Information Memoranda.
• Financial modelling for the purposes of raising finance.

They are looking for a dynamic and driven finance professional (accountancy qualification desired but not a pre-requisite) with proven experience in M&A activities who can work as part of a fast-moving and ambitious team.

With offices in Cheltenham, Bristol, and Cardiff there is the opportunity to work in any office with time required with the wider team in Cheltenham.

Our client is an independent firm so they offer unrivalled career development opportunities with a talent development and mentoring programme to help people reach their career ambitions.
