Support buy-side and sell-side Financial Due Diligence, assessing quality of earnings, cash flows, working capital, and transaction risks — and helping to shape the commercial story behind the numbers.
Use data-driven techniques to rapidly identify and present drivers of value, test the deal hypothesis, and elevate the impact of diligence work.
Help clients prepare for sale or IPO by interrogating their data landscape, KPIs, and business plan reporting — and identifying where the numbers need to work harder.
Build and automate clear, impactful management reporting tools — dashboards and board-level outputs that give clients real commercial visibility.
Use LLMs, forecasting, scenario modelling, and predictive analytics to solve commercial problems — not as an experiment, but as standard practice.
Take large, messy datasets and translate them into clear, compelling recommendations for senior stakeholders, including C-suite clients.
Contribute to value creation projects post-deal — including profitability analysis, KPI redesign, and operating model analytics for PE-backed portfolio companies.

ACA, CIMA, or equivalent finance/accounting qualification.
Experience in a consulting or advisory role — Big Four or boutique — with a track record of delivering in deals or transaction environments.

Strong analytical capability — comfortable working with large, complex datasets, financial models, and BI/analytics tools.
Genuine curiosity about AI and how it applies in deals contexts. You don’t need to be a developer, but you’re interested, you’ve experimented, and you want to build that muscle.

Nice to have: Proficiency in SQL and/or Python.
