Shape the Future of Valuation in a High-Growth Advisory Firm

A high-performing advisory firm is seeking a commercially minded, technically strong Valuation Manager to join its growing Corporate Finance team in London. This opportunity arises from continued business growth, internal promotions, and evolving team dynamics — and it’s ideal for someone ready to take ownership, lead projects, and make a visible impact.

You’ll work on a diverse range of valuation engagements, mentor junior colleagues, and collaborate closely with senior leadership. With a strong deal pipeline, increasing presence in the small and micro-cap space, and a collaborative culture, this is the perfect step for someone ready to elevate their career.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead financial analysis and build robust valuation models across a range of use cases — transactions, disputes, restructuring, and portfolio reviews
• Oversee in-depth market, industry, and competitor research to support valuation conclusions
• Conduct client interviews and stakeholder discussions to inform your analysis
• Produce clear, insightful reports and client-facing documents
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients and internal teams
• Mentor junior team members, supporting their technical and professional development
• Contribute to business development and client relationship initiatives, especially in the SME and small-cap segments

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• End-to-End Responsibility: Work across the full lifecycle of valuation projects, from scoping to delivery
• Visible Career Progression: Recent team promotions and continued growth have created real upward mobility
• Diverse Engagements: Transaction-focused work with minimal audit or purchase price allocation exposure
• Senior-Level Collaboration: Work directly with experienced Directors and Partners on high-impact projects
• Supportive Culture: Be part of a close-knit, collaborative team with a strong focus on quality and development

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in valuations or a related area (exceptional candidates with 4+ years considered)
• ACA qualified (minimum 2 years PQE, ideally 3+), or CFA qualification
• Background in Corporate Finance, Transaction Services, Deal Advisory, or Restructuring
• Strong technical expertise in valuation methodologies, including DCF, comparable companies, precedent transactions, Black-Scholes, and Monte Carlo simulations
• Excellent financial modelling skills and analytical acumen
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a sharp eye for detail
• A proactive, commercial mindset and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

Team Overview

• Mid-sized team of 20, spanning Partners, Directors, Managers, and Analysts/Associates
• Culture of collaboration, ambition, and measured growth
• Focused on building a strong bench of future leaders with a commitment to internal development
• London-based role with national coverage and growing reach in the micro-cap space
