Are you a qualified accountant who enjoys the commercial side of finance, but wants to get closer to the decisions, negotiations and deals that shape businesses?
This Corporate Finance Manager opportunity offers a route into lead advisory work where you can take genuine ownership of transactions rather than sitting on the edge of them. You could already be working in corporate finance or transaction services, or you may have built your career in practice or industry and be ready for something more entrepreneurial.
As Corporate Finance Manager, you’ll work directly with clients on acquisitions, disposals, management buyouts, management buy-ins and fundraising. The work is varied, hands-on and highly commercial, with the opportunity to develop quickly towards running deals autonomously.
If you want less routine, more responsibility and a career where your contribution can directly influence your future earnings, this could be worth exploring.
