Associate Director – Financial Due Diligence
Leeds or Manchester | £85,000–£95,000 + Benefits
We are working with a leading UK professional services and advisory firm to appoint Associate Directors into its Financial Due Diligence practice across both Leeds and Manchester.
This is an opportunity for an experienced Transaction Services / Financial Due Diligence professional to step into a senior, highly visible position within an established deals team. Importantly, this is not an origination-first role.
While you will naturally develop senior client relationships and contribute to the continued growth of the practice, the immediate requirement is for technically strong, commercially minded individuals who enjoy executing transactions, leading engagements and advising clients through the deal process.
The role
At Associate Director level, you will take significant ownership of Financial Due Diligence assignments, working closely with Partners and Directors while leading teams through the delivery of transactions. Your responsibilities will include:

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

You are likely to bring:
- ACA, ACCA or equivalent professional qualification
- Significant Financial Due Diligence / Transaction Services experience
