Experience & Qualifications:

• At least seven years of post-qualified experience in transaction-focused finance, such as due diligence or M&A advisory
• Advanced Excel skills, with experience in consolidated financial models
• Familiarity with modern data analysis techniques and structures (e.g., data cubes) is preferred
• Understanding of capital structures, particularly leveraged debt
• Extensive experience leading financial analysis projects
• Professional qualification (ICAS, ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent) is ideal but not mandatory if supported by significant transaction and due diligence experience

Personal Characteristics:

• Self-motivated and proactive, with a focus on relationship-building and process execution
• Strong communication and presentation skills for engaging C-suite stakeholders
• Detail-oriented, with a hands-on approach and willingness to delve into granular details
