Job Description

Alternatively, Grant Thornton

At Grant Thornton we do things differently - looking to the future, driving ambitious growth and pioneering positive change in our industry. Providing audit, tax and advisory services, we empower clients through strategic insight, curiosity, and genuine partnership. And we empower our people with real opportunity, an inclusive culture and work life balance. A true alternative.

With over 5,000 people in the UK, and a presence in 150 global markets, we're on an ambitious journey, from great to exceptional, and we need the best people to help us achieve our potential. And with that comes the opportunity to help redefine what our industry looks like, and what you want from your career.

Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals. The Transaction Advisory Services (TAS) team provides a broad range of advisory services to clients, primarily in a deals environment, including financial due diligence (FDD) and tax due diligence.

As a member of the FDD team you will be providing financial due diligence on both buy-side and sell-side transactions for private equity and corporate clients. You may also have the opportunity to work on public company transactions, primarily on the AIM Market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc.

We’re happy to talk flexible working and consider reduced hours and job shares, we’ll support you to balance your work and life.

For this specific role within our Transaction Advisory Services (TAS) team, we’re keen to consider, and adapt the role, for those individuals looking to work less than full time. As with all of our roles, a hybrid working model will apply, enabling a mix of office/client time and remote working.

A look into the role

As a TAS Manager you will take responsibility for all aspects of FDD engagements, including managing clients, target businesses, the internal team and the client deliverable. Specifically, you will:

  • Oversee the preparation of the client deliverable, ensuring a quality document is produced to facilitate the client’s decision making
  • Manage all aspects of the transaction competently, advising junior team members on technical aspects of the transaction
  • Interpret and analyse complex information, identifying business issues and applying technical knowledge appropriately
  • Play an important role in the presentation of conclusions and recommendations to the client and discuss the implications and action points
  • Lead, motivate and coach the team, taking a proactive interest in performance and wellbeing with regular feedback and timely performance
  • Consult effectively with specialists within the firm when faced with complex risk management, instilling a risk management culture within the team
  • Have the opportunity to support with business development and client relationship management, taking responsibility and ownership of the client relationship at the appropriate level in the client's organisation at board level

Knowing you’re right for us

Joining us as a Transaction Advisory Services Manager the minimum criteria you’ll need is a professional qualification (ACA, ICAS, CA, ACCA or CIPFA) with post qualification deals experience. It would be great if you had some of the following skills, but don’t worry if you don’t tick every box, we’ll help you develop along the way.

Skills to set you apart

  • Previous experience in Audit or Transaction Advisory
  • Experience of applying commercial judgement
  • Developing ability to build and maintain a network of contacts

Beyond the job

Life is more than work. The things you do, and the people you’re with outside of work matter, that’s why we’re happy to look at flexible working options for all our roles, and we’ll always do our best to keep your work and life in balance.

The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job. From secondments, to fundraising for local charities, or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world, you’ll be giving back to society.
