Corporate Finance / Lead Advisory Partner, Bristol
£120,000 to £160,000 base + significant bonus + long-term equity potential
You’ve built a strong reputation in Corporate Finance. You’re originating work, leading transactions and advising business owners through important decisions.
The question is whether your current platform gives you enough freedom, support and genuine upside.
This Opportunity Offers Something Different
An established advisory platform is building its Lead Advisory presence in Bristol and is looking for a Corporate Finance Partner to play a leading role in its growth across the South West.
This is not a cold start. You’ll have access to an established regional client base, strong professional relationships and a wider network of accountancy and advisory businesses capable of generating meaningful transaction opportunities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

About You
The firm is looking for an established Partner, or someone already operating at that level, with a strong lower mid-market Corporate Finance background.
You’ll need a credible personal origination track record, strong relationships across the Bristol and South West market and the ability to lead transactions from initial conversation through to completion.
Experience across technology, software, healthcare, business services or professional services would be useful, although broader lower mid-market experience is equally relevant.

The Culture
It is a grown-up, collaborative environment with sensible hours, low bureaucracy and little appetite for presenteeism or internal politics. People are trusted to deliver, and commercial ambition does not come at the expense of quality of life.
You’ll have the freedom to build and make an impact, with an established platform and experienced colleagues around you rather than being left to create everything from scratch.
The Package
The package includes a strong base salary, significant performance-related upside and the potential to participate in long-term equity.
If you’re looking for a credible platform on which to build a significant Bristol advisory business, this is worth a confidential conversation.
