Job description

Restructuring Advisory Manager (Leeds)

I'm working with a leading top-10 accountancy and advisory practice is looking to appoint a Manager-level professional to join its Leeds Restructuring Advisory team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to focus on advisory-led restructuring work rather than process-driven insolvency.

What You'll Work On

You’ll be involved in a broad range of restructuring advisory assignments, including:

• Independent Business Reviews (IBRs)
• Cashflow management and liquidity planning
• Accelerated M&A and distressed transactions
• Debt advisory and stakeholder negotiations
• Exposure to complex, high-profile administrations (where appropriate)

The role is predominantly advisory-focused, with opportunities to work on both Leeds-led and London-facing mandates.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Advisory-led restructuring focus (not volume insolvency)
• High-quality, complex and commercially interesting work
• Strong exposure to Partners, Directors, and national instructions
• Clear development and progression pathway
• Flexible on level (strong Senior Exec / Assistant Manager profiles will be considered)

Who They're Looking For

• Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) or CPI / JIEB qualified
• Experience within a recognised Restructuring or Advisory team
• Strong financial analysis and commercial thinking skills
• Comfortable managing multiple workstreams and stakeholders
• Experience coaching or mentoring junior staff
• Leeds-based or genuinely committed to working in Leeds
