Corporate Finance Director

Corporate Finance Director

£100,000 to £130,000 base + bonus + clear route to Partnership

You’re leading transactions, building trusted client relationships and winning work.

The next step should be Partnership. But where you are now, the route remains unclear or keeps moving further away. This opportunity provides something more tangible.

This established advisory platform is building its Lead Advisory presence in Bristol and is looking for a strong Corporate Finance Director to help shape its growth across the South West.

This is not a cold start.

You’ll have access to an established regional client base, strong professional relationships and a wider network of accountancy and advisory businesses capable of generating meaningful transaction opportunities.

The opportunity is to use that platform to:

• originate and lead lower mid-market M&A mandates
• advise founders, shareholders and management teams
• develop relationships across the Bristol and South West market
• convert internal and external referrals into transactions
• help build the local Corporate Finance presence
• support and develop more junior colleagues as the team grows

The firm is particularly interested in established Directors who are already operating at, or close to, Partner level.

You will need a credible track record of leading transactions and evidence that you can generate work through your own relationships, reputation and market activity. You do not need to arrive with a fully portable book of business, but you should understand where your opportunities will come from and how you would build momentum.

Experience across sectors such as technology, software, healthcare, business services or professional services would be useful, although broader lower mid-market experience is equally relevant.

The culture is a genuine part of the attraction. It is a grown-up, collaborative environment with sensible hours, low bureaucracy and little appetite for presenteeism or internal politics. People are trusted to deliver, and commercial ambition does not come at the expense of quality of life.

You will have the freedom to build and make an impact, but with an established platform and experienced colleagues around you rather than being left to create everything from scratch.

If you are performing beyond your current title and want a stronger platform for the next stage of your career, this is worth a confidential conversation.
