Associate Director - Transaction Advisory Services

We are working on an Associate Director hire for a rapidly growing Transaction Services team in London.

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced FDD professional who wants greater ownership of live transactions, more direct exposure to senior clients and the opportunity to join a business where progression is driven by performance rather than time served.

The team advises private equity and corporate clients across buy-side and sell-side transactions, combining traditional Financial Due Diligence with a genuinely data and technology-led approach.

The Role

You will take a lead role across Financial Due Diligence engagements, with responsibility for both delivery and day-to-day client management.

You will:

• Lead buy-side and sell-side Financial Due Diligence engagements
• Manage multiple live transactions and take ownership of key workstreams
• Analyse quality of earnings, working capital, net debt, cash flow and key financial trends
• Translate detailed financial analysis into clear, commercial conclusions for clients
• Act as a key point of contact for private equity and corporate clients
• Review deliverables and maintain a high standard of output across engagements
• Lead, coach and develop junior members of the team
• Support pitches, proposals and wider business development activity
• Work with data, analytics and technology to enhance the quality and speed of diligence

What We’re Looking For

• ACA / CA / ACCA qualified or equivalent
• Strong Financial Due Diligence / Transaction Services experience
• Previous UK experience within a Transaction Services / FDD team is essential
• Experience managing live FDD engagements and junior teams
• Strong financial analysis and report-writing skills
• Confidence interacting directly with senior clients
• Commercially minded with strong project management skills
• An interest in how technology and analytics can improve transaction execution
