Lead Advisory Partner (London)
£120,000 - £160,000 + significant bonus + long-term equity potential
Most London advisory platforms still expect the same thing.
Originate endlessly. Navigate politics. Build everything yourself.
Meanwhile, many acquisitive advisory platforms have become bigger, more bureaucratic and harder to operate within commercially.
This opportunity is different.
An ambitious advisory platform is building out its London Lead Advisory capability as part of a much wider accountancy and professional services ecosystem, with significant existing client relationships, embedded referral routes and substantial growth ambitions over the next few years.
Importantly, this is not:
“build everything yourself from scratch.”
There is already:
* dedicated origination infrastructure
* offshore lead generation support
* embedded accounting and tax referral channels
* existing deal flow
* a substantial wider client ecosystem
The focus is bringing in commercially credible advisers who can:
* build senior relationships
* convert opportunities properly
* help scale a serious London advisory proposition
* operate as trusted advisers rather than aggressive brokers
This role will suit someone who:
* enjoys the advisory side more than pure origination theatre
* is credible with business owners, investors and stakeholders
* is frustrated by increasing bureaucracy within acquisitive firms
* wants meaningful upside without sacrificing quality of life
* sees value in building something ambitious within a properly backed platform
Sector exposure across areas such as:
* Technology
* Software
* Healthcare
* Business Services
* Professional Services
would be particularly attractive.
Comp is designed to reward strong commercial performance without relying on fantasy economics:
* strong salary
* flexible benefits allowance
* collaborative team bonus structure
* significant upside potential
* long-term equity opportunity
The culture is intentionally different from many competing firms:
* collaborative rather than political
* commercially ambitious without a long-hours culture
* sensible working culture
* smart people and realistic expectations
This is aimed at established senior advisers with a proven track record operating within lower mid-market Lead Advisory / Corporate Finance environments.
If interested, happy to discuss confidentially.
