We are working with a leading global consultancy to identify a Director to initially join the team before taking over and leading the Finance M&A practice.
You will own the end-to-end finance value story: from pre-deal diligence (finance capability due diligence) through to post-close transformation. This will include:

- FP&A and performance management uplift
- shared services/GBS optimisation
- ERP-enabled change
- finance cost reduction
- AI-enabled finance transformation
Establish yourself as a recognised leader in Finance Capability Due Diligence and Value Creation both internally and externally.
Build a sustainable pipeline of Private Equity and corporate opportunities across Deals, CFO Advisory, and Value Creation.
Deliver high-quality client outcomes with measurable value creation (cost savings, speed-to-close, improved FP&A, stronger controls).
Develop and scale the Finance Value Creation team and create a standout “diligence to implementation” proposition that consistently converts Due Diligence findings into post-deal transformation work.
Requirements:
- 12+ years in consulting, private equity, or senior finance leadership
- Deep expertise across finance operating models, transformation, FP&A, MI/KPI frameworks, shared services/GBS, finance process optimisation, controls & governance, ERP programmes, finance cost reduction, transaction support, integration/separation, and finance data & analytics
- Proven experience supporting Private Equity-backed businesses, understanding deal processes and the role of finance throughout the investment lifecycle
- A track record of managing senior relationships (CFO, CEO, PE stakeholders) and driving business development in a fast-paced environment
- Commercially astute, growth-oriented, collaborative, and passionate about developing talent and building market-leading propositions
