- Act as a trusted adviser to deal teams, giving clear, commercial advice under tight deadlines
- Collaborate with Tax, Corporate Finance, Restructuring and Audit colleagues to deliver integrated client solutions
- Build, mentor and retain a high-performing team, with a strong focus on quality and development
About you
- Partner or Director experience in Transaction Services or Financial Due Diligence, within a top 10 firm, Big Four or a leading mid-tier practice
- A track record of leading a broad range of mid-market transactions and winning repeat work from private equity clients
- An established network across UK private equity, advisers and lenders, with proven business development success
- Strong technical credentials and sound commercial judgement, with the ability to communicate clearly to senior stakeholders
- Leadership qualities that inspire a team and contribute to the wider firm's strategy

Why join
