Associate Director – Corporate Finance
A leading independent corporate finance boutique is looking to bolster its high-performing team with an experienced Associate Director. Based in Milton Keynes, the firm is known for its hands-on, partner-led approach to mid-market M&A transactions across a wide range of sectors.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior role within a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where your voice is heard, and your contribution makes a real impact.
The Role:
As Associate Director, you'll play a central role in originating and delivering transactions. From day one, you'll work closely with Partners and clients, owner-managed businesses, private equity, and dynamic growth companies.
Expect to:
* Lead transactions from pitch to close
* Prepare high-quality marketing materials, valuations, and financial models
* Drive project management and coordinate due diligence workstreams
* Support business development, including client meetings and networking
* Mentor and develop junior team members (we're big on talent growth)
* 5–8+ years’ experience in corporate finance/M&A (practice, boutique, or investment banking)
* ACA/ACCA or CFA qualification (or equivalent)
* Strong deal sheet with experience leading transactions
* Commercial acumen and a passion for delivering great outcomes for clients
* The ability to build rapport and credibility quickly—with clients, investors, and colleagues
Why This Firm?
* Genuine career progression – a clear path to Director and beyond
* Human scale, big impact – tight-knit team with exposure to high-quality deals
* Local roots, national reach – work on exciting transactions without the London commute
* Down-to-earth culture – smart, driven people who don’t take themselves too seriously
This is the ideal next step for someone who wants more autonomy, visibility, and influence in their career—without sacrificing culture or work-life balance.
