Global Recruitment Leader @ Walker Lovell | Legal, Finance & Advisory

Are you a driven Corporate Finance professional ready to elevate your career? We are partnering with a well-established accountancy firm in Manchester that is looking to strengthen its corporate finance team with a key strategic hire. This opportunity offers an experienced corporate finance specialist the chance to play a pivotal role in shaping the team's market position and driving growth. With a strong foundation already in place, this role comes with a clear pathway to leadership as part of the firm's short to mid-term succession planning.

The Role

This position offers substantial responsibility and autonomy, with short- to mid-term guidance from a highly experienced corporate finance professional. You will inherit an established pipeline of work, continuously supplemented through the wider business's organic growth. While business development is not a requirement immediately speaking, candidates with a talent for it will be financially rewarded and recognised for their contributions.

Who We're Looking For

  • Candidates with 1+ years' experience in corporate finance who can demonstrate ambition, a drive to learn, and a willingness to get stuck in. Attitude and appetite is a key criteria for this opportunity.
  • A qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA) or equivalent (preferred but not essential).
  • Experience in valuations, FDD, and transaction support.
  • A commercially minded individual with strong client management skills.
  • Someone with an appetite for leadership and team development.
  • A driven professional who thrives in an independent, entrepreneurial environment.

This role is perfect for someone seeking a move away from a rigid corporate environment into a role where they can have a tangible impact, shape a growing team, and take a leadership position in the medium term.

If you are interested in this opportunity, apply now or get in touch for a confidential discussion.
