Associate Director – Corporate Finance

? Milton Keynes | ? Mid-market M&A Advisory | ? Competitive package + bonus

A leading independent corporate finance boutique is looking to bolster its high-performing team with an experienced Associate Director. Based in Milton Keynes, the firm is known for its hands-on, partner-led approach to mid-market M&A transactions across a wide range of sectors.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior role within a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where your voice is heard, and your contribution makes a real impact.

? The Role:

As Associate Director, you'll play a central role in originating and delivering transactions. From day one, you'll work closely with Partners and clients, owner-managed businesses, private equity, and dynamic growth companies.

Expect to:

• Lead transactions from pitch to close
• Prepare high-quality marketing materials, valuations, and financial models
• Drive project management and coordinate due diligence workstreams
• Support business development, including client meetings and networking
• Mentor and develop junior team members (we're big on talent growth)

? You’ll Need:

• 5–8+ years’ experience in corporate finance/M&A (practice, boutique, or investment banking)
• ACA/ACCA or CFA qualification (or equivalent)
• Strong deal sheet with experience leading transactions
• Commercial acumen and a passion for delivering great outcomes for clients
• The ability to build rapport and credibility quickly—with clients, investors, and colleagues

? Why This Firm?

• Genuine career progression – a clear path to Director and beyond
• Human scale, big impact – tight-knit team with exposure to high-quality deals
• Local roots, national reach – work on exciting transactions without the London commute
• Down-to-earth culture – smart, driven people who don’t take themselves too seriously

This is the ideal next step for someone who wants more autonomy, visibility, and influence in their career—without sacrificing culture or work-life balance.
