Associate Director Corporate Finance - #2158948

Title: Associate Director, Corporate Finance | M&A Lead Advisory

Location: Birmingham

Future_find is partnering with a well-established UK corporate finance advisory practice to appoint an Associate Director into its Birmingham team.

This is a genuine step-up opportunity for an experienced deal-doer. You'd be joining a busy practice with a strong, active client base, which means real, live deal flow from day one rather than starting from a standing start. The focus is execution: leading lower-mid-market transactions (predominantly sell-side) through to completion, with the autonomy to run your own deals and an established senior team around you.

Importantly, there's no expectation to arrive with a book of business. The remit is to be effective on live deals quickly, build your profile across the regional market over time, and progress toward Director and beyond as you do.

The role

• Lead and execute corporate finance transactions end-to-end, predominantly sell-side lead advisory.
• Own the detail: IM drafting, financial analysis and valuation, due diligence, SPA and completion mechanics.
• Run client and buyer/investor meetings, and manage the deal process and timetable.
• Mentor and develop junior members of the team.

We'd like to hear from you if you're

• A qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA or equivalent), or QBE with strong corporate finance / lead advisory experience.
• Operating around Associate Director / Senior Manager level (or a strong Manager ready to step up).
• A hands-on, pragmatic, low-ego executor
• Ambitious to grow toward Director / Partner as the regional team develops.
