Director of Finance M&A Practice
We are working with a leading global consultancy to identify a Director to initially join the team before taking over and leading the Finance M&A practice. The opportunity has a clear path to Partner and they are looking for someone that has the desire and passion to make the step up.
You will own the end-to-end finance value story: from pre-deal diligence (finance capability due diligence) through to post-close transformation. This will include: finance operating model design, FP&A and performance management uplift, shared services/GBS optimisation, ERP-enabled change, finance cost reduction, and AI-enabled finance transformation. You will be the trusted advisor to CFOs, CEOs and PE sponsors across PE backed organisations and global corporations.
