Job Description
Your new company
You'll be working with a highly entrepreneurial, acquisitive accountancy practice that advises a broad range of industry clients on potential investments and acquisitions. The firm operates at the sharp end of deal advisory, supporting clients with informed, commercial decision making ahead of acquisition.
Your new role
This interim role is focused solely on pre acquisition advisory, leading financial due diligence on target businesses prior to investment or acquisition. Working within a practice environment, you will assess the financial health, risks and opportunities of potential targets and provide clear, pragmatic recommendations to clients on whether an acquisition represents a sound investment. You will not be involved in post deal integration; your remit is to analyse, challenge and advise upfront, supporting clients through informed go / no go decisions.
What you'll need to succeed
You'll be an experienced Interim Financial Controller or Finance Director with strong, hands on due diligence experience. You'll be comfortable operating in a practice or advisory setting, reviewing multiple businesses across different sectors, and translating financial analysis into clear commercial advice for clients. Strong stakeholder management skills, an investigative mindset and the ability to work at pace are essential.
What you'll get in return
You'll receive a competitive day rate and the opportunity to work on a varied pipeline of pre acquisition assignments, advising entrepreneurial clients at critical decision points. The role offers autonomy, exposure to a high volume of deals, and the chance to apply your M&A expertise in a pure advisory capacity, with potential for extension as deal activity continues.
