Job description

Salary: OTE of £300k+ comprising basic of £135k to £175k and uncapped bonus + medium term equity potential

Flexible working

We're exclusively partnering with a highly respected independent corporate finance advisory firm that has built an outstanding reputation over more than three decades. As part of an ambitious growth strategy and long term succession plan, the business is looking to appoint an experienced Corporate Finance Partner to play a key role in its next phase of growth.

This is far more than a traditional Partner opportunity. It's your chance to join an entrepreneurial, collaborative business where you'll have genuine autonomy to build your own practice, influence strategy and ultimately become part of the firm's future leadership.

The Opportunity

Joining an established and profitable advisory business, you'll work alongside an experienced partnership delivering high quality corporate finance advice to entrepreneurial businesses across the UK.

The firm advises on transactions typically ranging from £10m–£40m, supporting owner managed businesses through:

• Acquisitions
• Company Disposals
• Management Buy-Outs & Buy-Ins
• Strategic Corporate Advisory

You’ll benefit from:

• An established and highly respected market brand
• High quality deal flow and referral network
• The flexibility to grow your own regional presence
• A genuine pathway towards equity partnership
• This is a business that values entrepreneurial thinking, collaboration and relationship building over corporate hierarchy.

We're looking for an experienced corporate finance professional who enjoys originating opportunities just as much as delivering exceptional client outcomes.

You’ll need to bring:

• A proven track record of originating and completing UK mid-market transactions
• Experience advising entrepreneurial and owner managed businesses
• A strong network of business owners, introducers, private equity investors and lenders
• Excellent commercial judgement and relationship building skills
• The ability to lead transactions from origination through to completion
• A collaborative leadership style with a passion for developing others

Applications are welcomed from:

• Corporate Finance Partners
• Directors
• Managing Directors
• Senior Corporate Finance professionals seeking a more entrepreneurial platform

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Unlike many larger firms, this organisation operates in a genuinely entrepreneurial environment where partners are expected to build relationships, win work and make commercial decisions.

The culture rewards initiative, collaboration is encouraged, success is driven by market presence rather than internal politics.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape the future direction of the business while building your own long-term legacy.

If you're looking for the freedom of a boutique combined with an established platform, outstanding execution support and significant long-term upside, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.
