Job description

Corporate Finance Analyst - Graduate

Would you like to work within a fast growing, entrepreneurial Corporate Finance Advisory firm going through a considerable period of expansion?

If so please read on.

Our client is a well established, award winning, growing Corporate Finance Boutique which, following a period of heightened activity, is now looking for an entrepreneurial individual to join their team in their offices in Leicester.

They are seeking a very bright and commercial recent graduate looking to make their first step into Corporate Finance Lead Advisory. They will also consider someone who is already a year or two into their business careers, maybe studying towards an accounting qualification such as ACA/ACCA, who are looking to continue their career within Corporate Finance.

You will join a close knit team and play a key role with a variety of different lead advisory transactions, including MBOs, MBIs, acquisitions, disposals, raising finance and general strategic advice. Clients will mainly be UK based but some International assignments too.

You will get involved in a broad range of work such as producing key commercial analysis and business plans for presentation to financial institutions or acquisitive clients; financial modelling; drawing up information memorandum and pitch presentations; contract negotiations; assisting with business development activities.

The successful candidates will have a graduate with an exceptional academic background, and strong communication skills are a prerequisite. Prior exposure to lead advisory or a deals environment is not required (albeit great if you do have some), the key thing is that you show the right commercial acumen. A good technical knowledge of accounting and a keen commercial outlook on business is essential.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a successful team that is getting involved in exciting projects with a strong pipeline of work going forward. Team members are also rewarded with other benefits and strong bonus potential and there are genuine opportunities for continuous personal and career development.
