Valuation Manager - City

My client is a high-performing, national advisory firm which is seeking a commercially minded, technically strong Valuation Manager to join its expanding Corporate Finance team in London.

Continued business growth, internal promotions, and a dynamic deal pipeline have created an opportunity for an ambitious professional ready to take ownership, lead engagements, and make a visible impact.

You’ll work on a broad range of valuation projects, collaborate directly with senior leadership, and help mentor the next generation of talent. With a strong market presence in the small and micro-cap space and a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture, this is an ideal next step for someone eager to drive both client outcomes and their own career.

What You’ll Do

• Lead detailed financial analysis and build robust valuation models for transactions, disputes, restructuring, and portfolio reviews
• Conduct market, industry, and competitor research to inform valuation conclusions
• Engage directly with clients and key stakeholders to gather insights and present findings
• Produce clear, concise, and impactful client reports and presentations
• Develop and nurture strong client relationships and cross-functional internal partnerships
• Mentor and coach junior team members to enhance technical capability and professional growth
• Support business development initiatives, with a focus on SME and small-cap markets

Why This Role Stands Out

• End-to-End Project Ownership: Manage valuation engagements from scoping through to delivery
• Genuine Career Progression: Recent promotions and strong growth are creating clear pathways for advancement
• Varied and Impactful Work: Focus on transaction-led projects with minimal audit or purchase price allocation work
• Senior Exposure: Collaborate closely with experienced Directors and Partners on complex, high-profile valuations
• Supportive, High-Performing Culture: Join a tight-knit, ambitious team that values quality, initiative, and ongoing learning

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years\’ experience in valuations or a related discipline (exceptional candidates with 4+ years will be considered)
• ACA qualified (minimum 2 years PQE, ideally 3+), or CFA
• Background in Corporate Finance, Transaction Services, Deal Advisory, or Restructuring
• Strong expertise across valuation methodologies (DCF, comparable companies, precedent transactions, Black-Scholes, Monte Carlo)
• Advanced financial modelling and analytical skills
• Excellent communication and report writing abilities; highly detail-oriented
• Proactive, commercial mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

Team Snapshot

• Mid-sized team of ~20 professionals (Partners, Directors, Managers, Analysts/Associates)
• Strong culture of collaboration, ambition, and sustainable growth
• Committed to building a deep bench of future leaders through internal development
• London-based role with national market coverage and a growing micro-cap presence
