Corporate Finance Partner
£140k to £150k base, bonus, performance upside and future equity potential
Bristol does not need a passenger with a Partner title.
It needs a senior dealmaker who can win work, lead from the front, lift the office and help build the next stage of the business.
This is a founder-led corporate finance advisory firm with a strong Bristol heritage and a growing national platform. The business has real momentum, with a developing UK footprint and a clear appetite to compete on better-quality lower mid-market work.
The Bristol office now needs more senior commercial firepower.
This is a proper Partner-level role, but not a seat for someone looking to coast. You will need to originate, lead mandates, build relationships and bring visible energy into the office.
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.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role will suit someone who can:
- Personally originate lower mid-market M&A mandates
- Lead transactions with entrepreneurs, shareholders and management teams
- Build trusted relationships across introducers, intermediaries and business owners
- Develop a sector-led practice, not just work a regional patch
- Bring pace, standards and senior presence into Bristol
- Help support and raise the level of the team around them
The deal focus is owner-managed and entrepreneurial businesses, typically above £10m EV, with increasing activity in the £30m to £50m space.
Sector specialism matters. Healthcare, technology, testing and compliance, and financial services are already areas of focus, but there is room for the right person to bring a credible specialism of their own.


Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will probably be:
- An existing Corporate Finance Partner, early Partner or very strong Senior Director
- Strong in lower mid-market lead advisory
- Able to evidence personal fee generation
- Credible with entrepreneurs, shareholders and management teams
- Commercially ambitious, proactive and accountable
- Comfortable being visible in Bristol
- More interested in building something than inheriting a comfortable seat
It probably will not suit someone who wants a lifestyle move, guaranteed equity from day one, or a role where the brand creates every opportunity.
For the right person, this is a chance to help lead a key office, build a sector-led practice and join an independent advisory business at an important point in its growth.
