Our Transaction Services practice supports private equity, investment funds and corporates throughout the deal cycle. You will work across a range of sectors, developing your commercial understanding, and gradually building deeper sector expertise as your career progresses.

About the role:

As a Manager in Financial Due Diligence, you will play a hands‑on role in delivering high-quality financial and commercial analysis. You’ll work closely with teams to investigate business performance, support the preparation of diligence reports, and contribute insight that helps clients understand key drivers and risks in a transaction.

You’ll also develop your leadership capabilities by guiding day‑to‑day work, supporting team members, and building the confidence to take on larger areas of ownership over time. As your commercial awareness grows, you’ll increasingly contribute to client conversations and the development of opportunities across the practice. If you’re looking to build your career in deals and develop strong analytical and commercial skills within a supportive team, we’d be excited to hear from you.

• Identifying trends, risks, deal breakers and value‑creation opportunities.
• Helping to coach and support junior team members in developing strong analytical and commercial skills.
• Using data and analytics tools (Alteryx, PowerBI) to enhance insight and project delivery.
• Building internal and external networks and contributing to the development of opportunities.
• Demonstrating integrity and values‑led leadership.

The role is for you if:

• Must possess an ACA/ICAS Qualification (or an international equivalent) or have equivalent work experience. This includes international candidates who qualify through experience in their home country.
• Have strong financial due diligence and analysis skills and commercial awareness.
• Have excellent report writing, data interpretation, and Excel skills.
• Are experienced in managing teams and delegating effectively.
• Can mentor and coach colleagues.
• Hold strong verbal and written communication skills.
