Job description

Queen’s Tower Advisory is a high‑performing, boutique advisory business built for the modern dealmaking landscape - specialising in transaction services, debt advisory, and capital raising. Our clients include sophisticated private equity funds and corporate acquirers, and they choose us for one reason: we deliver clarity, conviction, and commercial impact when it matters most.

We’re an innovation‑led deals advisory practice that blends deep technical expertise with cutting‑edge tools - from AI and automation to advanced analytics. This combination allows us to move faster, think smarter, and deliver insights that genuinely shift outcomes for our clients.

As we continue our rapid growth, we’re expanding our Transaction Services leadership team. This is an opportunity to help shape and elevate a next‑generation transaction services platform - one that’s redefining what “best‑in‑class” looks like.

If you want to build something meaningful, grow with a firm that values excellence, and work alongside people who care deeply about their craft, this is that moment.

The Role

As an Associate Director in Transaction Services at Queen’s Tower Advisory, you’ll play a central role in delivering high‑quality financial due diligence and guiding clients through complex, high‑stakes transactions. You’ll lead project teams, manage day‑to‑day engagement delivery, and provide the analytical and commercial insights that influence investment decisions.

But this role goes beyond execution. You’ll help strengthen client relationships, support business development initiatives, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of our transaction services offering.

This is an Associate Director role for someone who wants to step up, take ownership, and help shape a fast‑growing advisory business.

Key Responsibilities:

Transaction Delivery

• Lead financial due diligence engagements across a range of sectors and deal sizes.
• Oversee the preparation of high‑quality deliverables that drive informed, confident decision‑making.

Client Relationship Management

• Act as a key point of contact for clients throughout engagements.
• Provide clear, commercially grounded insights and maintain strong, trusted relationships.
• Supervise, coach, and develop junior team members.
• Foster a culture of collaboration, ambition, and consistently high standards.

Business Development

• Support Directors and Partners in identifying and pursuing new opportunities.
• Contribute to proposal development and participate in pitch presentations.

Risk & Quality Management

• Ensure compliance with internal risk management processes.
• Maintain rigorous professional standards across all aspects of engagement delivery.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with colleagues across service lines to deliver integrated, high‑impact solutions.

What We’re Looking For

• A qualified accountant (ACA/CA/CPA or equivalent).
• Strong experience in transaction services, financial due diligence, or a related field within a professional services environment.
• Excellent analytical skills, including financial modelling and report writing.
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams and manage multiple engagements simultaneously.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport and credibility with clients and colleagues.
• An entrepreneurial mindset - someone who is proactive, commercially aware, and eager to contribute to a growing practice.
