Associate Director - Corporate Finance (M&A)

We''re more than accountants. Old Mill is a forward-thinking professional services firm with a growing Corporate Finance team and a reputation for doing things well. We combine accountancy, tax, and wealth management under one roof, so our clients get genuinely joined-up advice at every stage of their business and personal journeys. Our ethos is simple: do great work and be nice to people! It sounds straightforward, but it shapes everything we do. As a business, we''re open to flex, whether that''s how we work with our clients or how we support our team with hybrid working, flexible hours, and the freedom to base yourself at any of our South West offices.
We''re now looking for an experienced MandA Adviser to join our Corporate Finance Team. This is a senior role where you''ll work with ambitious business owners and investors on a wide variety of MandA and private equity transactions. Because our team is small but growing, you''ll have the freedom to get involved in the full range of corporate finance work, while also developing your own areas of specialism, if you wish to.

What Makes Us Different

That means you can focus on quality, take time off without worrying, and know your colleagues have your backFlexibility: After an initial settling-in period, you''ll have the freedom to base yourself at any of our five South West offices, with a hybrid pattern of (no more than) three days in the office each week - unless you want to do more. We''ll also consider part-time arrangements if that''s your preferenceGrowth and progression: As part of a smaller, agile team, you''ll have more room to take ownership, shape your career, and step up as we expandBreadth of work: Rather than being boxed into one area, you''ll gain exposure to a wide variety of deals and sectors, alongside the opportunity to specialise if you wish
