Job description

Director | Financial Due Diligence & Transaction Advisory | Frankfurt

Join a globally recognised consulting and advisory firm with an outstanding reputation in M&A and an ambitious strategy for continued growth.

I am currently partnering with a leading global financial and transaction advisory consultancy that is looking to appoint a Director within its growing Financial Due Diligence practice in Frankfurt.

With over 6,500 professionals across 32 countries, the firm is one of the world's most established independent advisory businesses, trusted by leading private equity investors, multinational corporations and financial institutions on complex, high-value transactions.

With a history spanning almost a century, the business has built an exceptional reputation across M&A, financial advisory, valuation, restructuring and transaction services. Its integrated international platform means consultants can draw on specialist expertise across the entire investment lifecycle while maintaining close relationships with their clients.

They are now looking for an experienced Financial Due Diligence Director to lead major transaction engagements, develop senior client relationships and play an important role in expanding the firm's German advisory business.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone from a Big Four or leading transaction advisory consultancy who wants to combine the international scale and reputation of a global firm with greater autonomy, commercial responsibility and the opportunity to help build a growing practice.

The Opportunity

• Lead complex buy-side and sell-side Financial Due Diligence engagements for leading private equity funds and corporate clients
• Advise investors on financial performance, quality of earnings, working capital and key transaction risks
• Take ownership of significant client engagements, working directly with investment professionals and senior executives
• Build and strengthen relationships with private equity investors, corporate clients and dealmakers
• Lead and develop high-performing consulting teams, working closely with Managing Directors
• Contribute to business development, winning new mandates and expanding the firm's presence across Germany
• Collaborate with international advisory teams on cross-border transactions

About You

• A strong background in consulting or transaction advisory, ideally from a Big Four Deals practice or another leading advisory firm
• Significant experience delivering Financial Due Diligence for private equity and corporate clients
• Strong technical expertise across quality of earnings, financial analysis, working capital and M&A transactions
• Proven experience leading consulting engagements and advising senior client stakeholders
• Excellent commercial judgement, leadership capabilities and an interest in business development
• Ambitious, entrepreneurial and motivated by the opportunity to take on greater responsibility within a global consultancy

Why This Opportunity?

The real attraction is the combination of global scale and entrepreneurial freedom.

You'll be joining an internationally established consultancy with an exceptional client portfolio, a strong reputation in financial advisory and access to specialist expertise across the entire transaction lifecycle.

However, unlike some of the larger, more traditional consulting environments, you'll have the opportunity to work closely with senior leadership, take genuine ownership of client relationships and play a direct role in growing the Frankfurt practice.

With a substantial international platform behind you, opportunities to work on major cross-border transactions and a clear pathway towards Managing Director, this is a compelling move for an experienced FDD consultant looking to take the career to the next level.

If you're currently working within a leading consulting or transaction advisory practice and have strong Financial Due Diligence experience, I'd welcome a confidential conversation.
