This role is ideal for a motivated, detail-oriented person with strong Excel skills and a genuine interest in corporate strategy, finance, and data analysis. It's perfect for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced, deal-driven environment and wants to build a career in Mergers & Acquisitions. You'll gain hands-on experience in corporate finance and strategic transactions, while developing your skills through on-the-job learning and formal training.

The Firm

You'll be joining a growing M&A team within a well-established and forward-thinking financial advisory business. The business has a strong track record in successfully acquiring and integrating companies across the UK. You'll benefit from modern systems, collaborative culture, and exposure to senior stakeholders, as well as clear opportunities for career progression in the corporate finance and acquisitions field.

The Role
