Manager, Financial Advisory

This is an excellent opportunity to work alongside our established team who will support you to utilise and enhance your advisory and insolvency skills and experience. You will work alongside some of the most experienced practitioners in the field: advising the boards, management teams, lenders and shareholders of companies which are underperforming and/or facing financial and other stress.

The Financial Advisory Team at Teneo advises corporates, creditors and other financial stakeholders in situations of financial stress and distress. No two situations are the same. Our advice and approach is tailored to each situation and each client. At Teneo, we believe such occurrences present new opportunities for our clients. Opportunities to restore value, raise new capital, pivot in a new direction and ultimately, identify certainty amidst chaos.

Teneo partners with clients to find viable opportunities that will protect and enhance value and help them to build strategies that will most benefit their business and/or investment goals. Integrating the disciplines of financial advisory, management consulting, investor relations, strategic communications, government affairs, risk analysis and talent advisory, Teneo’s global Financial Advisory team guides companies and their stakeholders through periods of uncertainty and stress.
