NXTGEN are excited to be partnering with a high-growth, AIM-listed PLC as they look to recruit a commercially astute Finance Analyst to join their expanding acquisitions team. This is not your average Finance Analyst role-internally titled 'Acquisition Analyst', this position will see you working at the sharp end of the business's ambitious M&A agenda. With significant investment and a strong pipeline of activity, the successful Finance Analyst will play a critical role in driving strategic growth and influencing multi-million-pound decisions at board level.
Key Responsibilities:
Conduct detailed financial, operational, and market analysis to support acquisition opportunities
Build sophisticated forecasting models, perform sensitivity analysis, and develop valuation strategies
Deliver commercially sound recommendations on pricing, deal structures, and key terms to senior stakeholders
Prepare insightful reports, board presentations, and investment proposals to support strategic decision-making
Collaborate closely with senior leadership and acquisition directors on deal execution and M&A strategy
Monitor the performance of acquisitions post-deal, ensuring value creation and strategic alignment
Maintain and enhance financial models, deal tracking data, and key performance metrics
Liaise with cross-functional teams-Finance, Tax, Legal, and Operations-to ensure seamless transactions
Champion continuous improvement, identifying risks and ensuring compliance with audit requirements
You'll be ACA/ACCA/CIMA qualified with a strong analytical mindset and the confidence to work closely with senior stakeholders. Previous experience within M&A, transaction services, corporate finance or commercial FP&A will be highly advantageous. Most importantly, you'll bring a proactive and commercially driven approach, with a desire to make a tangible impact in a growing PLC environment.
This is an outstanding opportunity to fast-track your career in a high-profile role, within a business that values innovation, rigour, and strategic thinking. If you're ready to step into a role where your insight can truly influence the future direction of a market-leading business, we'd love to hear from you
