M&A Manager – Manchester

I’m currently working with one of the busiest and fastest-growing accountancy firms in the market, who are looking to add an M&A Manager to their Manchester team.

The firm has built a strong M&A practice with a consistent pipeline of mid-market transactions. This is an opportunity to join an established team where you will have genuine responsibility across transactions, strong exposure to clients and the opportunity to develop your career within a growing platform.

The Role

You will work across a range of mid-market M&A transactions, taking responsibility for key elements of execution and working closely with senior team members, shareholders, and investors.

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.
