We are working with a rapidly scaling, Private Equity-backed group pursuing a buy-and-build strategy. Following its initial acquisition and with a strong pipeline of further transactions, the business is entering a phase of accelerated growth. This is a rare opportunity to join at an early stage and play a key role in shaping an ambitious consolidation strategy.

The Role

Reporting directly to the CFO and working closely with the M&A leadership team, you will support the full acquisition lifecycle and provide critical financial insight to underpin investment decisions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Reviewing and refining financial models to assess acquisition opportunities
• Performing valuation analysis across a pipeline of target businesses
• Conducting in-house financial due diligence and identifying key risks/opportunities
• Supporting transaction execution, including coordination with external advisers
• Analysing deal pipeline and contributing to investment decision-making
• Enhancing internal valuation frameworks and acquisition processes

The Candidate

We are looking for a high-calibre, commercially minded finance professional with strong analytical capability and transaction exposure. You will likely have:

• ACA / ACCA (or equivalent) qualification
• Experience in Transaction Services, Corporate Finance, or M&A Advisory
• Strong financial modelling and valuation skills
• Exposure to due diligence and deal execution processes
• Ability to translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Experience within PE backed environments is advantageous, but not essential

Our client is a high-growth, PE backed business at a relatively early stage. You will have the opportunity to work directly with senior leadership, including the CFO and gain hands-on exposure to a live and active M&A pipeline. You will play a key role in a buy-and-build growth strategy. Strong long-term career progression as the business scales up.

If you're looking to step into a high-impact M&A role with deal exposure and strategic influence, we'd be delighted to hear from you.
