We are pleased to share that Finatal is currently exclusively mandated on an M&A Manager role for a Private Equity backed professional services business. Based in central London, the firm is looking to hire a few individuals to support a lean team of 4 in their ongoing buy-and-build strategy. They have undertaken 6 acquisitions in the past year and are looking to continue at a similar pace for approximately another five years. The deals tend to sit in the mid to large cap size, so their ideal candidates will have begun their career in a blue-chip investment bank, or a leading advisory firm, having had crucial experience working on Large Cap transactions. Further, the individual must have spent anywhere between 1-4 years in-house, executing buy side M&A transactions for a Private Equity backed portfolio company. However, previous sector experience is not a prerequisite. This is a fantastic opportunity to add value to a rapidly expanding firm, as well as have hands-on exposure to a variety of transactions, and to touch on PMI Value Creation pieces. This candidate must have a personable and can-do demeanour, and a capacity to communicate with individuals at any level.

Responsibilities:

  • Support the team in establishing the full M&A cycle.
  • Work alongside the team to establish potential acquisition targets.
  • Coordinate the Financial Due Diligence processes.
  • Build financial models.
  • Assist in the drafting and negotiations of SPA’s.
  • Evaluating synergies and helping to establish an integration plan.

Qualifications:

  • The range of experience they will consider can fall between 3-10 years in M&A, preferably having managed a team in an Investment Bank or a Big-Four Advisory Firm.
  • Some in-house buyside experience.
  • Financial Due Diligence experience.
  • Exposure to Private Equity in any capacity.
  • Any work in similar industries (Financial Services, Insurance, Wealth Management, etc) is a bonus, but not a prerequisite.
  • Strong financial modelling and analytical skills.
  • Interest in working in a fast-paced and highly acquisitive firm.
  • Previous experience working with senior stakeholders is a bonus.
  • Approaches their work pragmatically.
