How we work
We follow a set of guiding principles that shape every project we take on, ensuring a seamless connection between strategy, execution, and results.
Pride in our work is non-negotiable - cutting corners simply isn’t how we operate. Our approach is meticulous, collaborative, and designed to deliver exceptional outcomes for every client. Transparency, precision, and a focus on quality are at the core of everything we do.
For us, it’s not just about completing a deal; it’s about creating long-term value and making a meaningful impact.
About the role
We are looking for a Corporate Finance Manager to play a pivotal role in leading and managing M&A transactions from start to finish. In this position, you will oversee all aspects of the M&A process, including identifying target opportunities, negotiating terms, performing due diligence, and reviewing transaction documentation. You will be instrumental in shaping the M&A strategy, focusing on priorities, targets, and new opportunities for growth. This will involve assessing potential mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, alliances, and joint ventures, as well as evaluating new business opportunities in various sectors.
Your responsibilities will also include conducting detailed research, preparing presentations, and collaborating with regional colleagues to assess new market opportunities and entry strategies. You will be responsible for conducting company research, investment analysis, financial modelling, and valuations. Additionally, you will act as the main point of contact for existing investment companies, monitoring performance against business plans and strategic goals.
