Exclusive to GW Risk
National Private Equity Backed Multibillion Pound Accounting Group
We are hiring a UK Lead Partner M&A role for a hugely successful National Accounting Group that is taking the market by storm, with successful hubs across the UK including London, Midlands, NW England, Scotland with many more hubs planned by growth and acquisition.
They are looking for a leader to be actively involved in transacting on current acquisition proposals of Accounting Firms, Corporate Finance Boutiques, Insolvency Specialists, Tax, and other Management Consultancies across the UK that have 5-7 Partners and £5-£20 million turnover range that have valuations of up to £30 million.
As my clients have significant backing to leverage this already growing and successful group, they would also look for you to have a significant network of similar UK and perhaps some international consulting firms of the same size and nature as outlined above. You will also need to have a track record in leading and managing teams on successful deals in this area from start to finish, as well as advise on successfully scaling up these businesses post-acquisition.
