About The Role

At PwC we work on some of the most exciting and market-leading deals, and we pride ourselves on our inclusive culture, focus on wellbeing and commitment to development. You’ll have the opportunity to build a long-term career working with high-profile clients across a diverse range of transactions, supported by leading technology, advanced data tools, and innovative digital platforms.

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.

• Contributing to the preparation of clear, insightful financial due diligence reports.
• Supporting interactions with senior management, business owners, and private equity investors.
• 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

• Hold ACA/ICAS (or equivalent international qualification).
• 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.
• Can build trusted relationships with clients and internal teams.
• Have a willingness to embrace data tools and new ways of working.

What You’ll Receive From Us

We offer a range of benefits including empowered flexibility and a working week split between office, home and client site; private medical cover and 24/7 access to a qualified virtual GP; six volunteering days a year and much more.
