M&A Advisory Internship in London

About Tura Advisory

Tura is an M&A advisory firm that places people at the centre of every transaction, underpinned by technical excellence and deep sector expertise. We focus on professional services, with particular emphasis on technology and creative services, alongside healthcare and life sciences - sectors where specialist knowledge and insight drive superior outcomes. We advise founder-led businesses on sell-side transactions, providing clear guidance and senior-led support throughout every stage of the deal process.

Headquartered in London, Tura is young and ambitious, and our early success is testament to the experience and standing our leadership have within the industry. The ideal candidate for this role will have significant opportunities to be involved at every stage of the deal life cycle. We are looking for an ambitious individual who wants to exceed expectations and start their career in an entrepreneurial environment.

Our approach combines deep sector and process expertise with a human-centred mindset. We pride ourselves on delivering a high-touch, senior-led experience to clients to maximise successful outcomes.

Following a run of significant pitch wins, Tura is currently advising multiple sell-side clients. To support this growth, we are offering Internships to provide immediate deal execution and go-to-market support.

Why We’re Different

M&A advisory is often seen as rigid, transactional, and impersonal. At Tura, we are changing that. We believe the best outcomes are achieved by combining cutting-edge processes, sector expertise, and rigorous analysis that recognises the personal as well as financial impact of every transaction.

We are re-shaping what it means to advise founders by:

• Placing people at the heart of deals guiding founders through one of the most important moments of their lives with empathy and respect

• Using data and technology intelligently leveraging platforms, tools and AI to drive precision, efficiency, and insight

• Challenging the industry norm proving that boutique firms can deliver an experience and outcome that rivals (and often exceeds) the big global players

Role Overview

This internship offers hands-on exposure to the execution of M&A transactions within a boutique advisory environment. Working closely with the founders and senior team members, you will support live projects across a range of activities, including financial analysis, market research, and the preparation of key transaction materials.

The role is well suited to a highly motivated student or recent graduate with a strong interest in corporate finance and M&A. You will gain practical experience working alongside experienced advisors while developing core analytical and research skills in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. A strong willingness to learn, attention to detail, and commitment to producing high-quality work are essential for success in the role.
