Our client is a highly successful Corporate Finance team within their offices in Birmingham, currently experiencing a period of exceptional growth. To support this expansion, they are seeking a driven and ambitious Corporate Finance Manager or Associate Director to play a key role in delivering and leading transactions on an Interim basis, for at least 3 months, but could turn into a permanent opportunity.

This position is ideal for a qualified Chartered Accountant (ACA) with several years’ post‑qualification experience in a deals environment. You’ll gain exposure to a diverse range of lead advisory projects, including MBOs, MBIs, acquisitions, disposals, capital and debt raises and strategic advisory assignments.

Key responsibilities include:

As Manager or Associate Director, you’ll bring a proven track record in leading sell and buy‑side transactions, or the confidence and capability to take on this responsibility. The ideal candidate will have trained with a leading firm, possess strong academic credentials, and demonstrate excellent communication and relationship‑building skills. You will help to manage a very high performing and engaged junior team so you must be able to rise to this challenge and inspire.

You must be immediately available to start in January 2026 but as mentioned this is an opportunity to be part of a team with significant growth potential in the Midlands market over the short to medium term, so this could turn into a permanent role!
