Corporate Finance Partner
Manchester / North West
You can already originate.
The question is whether your current platform is helping you scale it.
An established independent corporate finance adviser is actively looking at Manchester/North West expansion and wants commercially credible people to help shape it.
This is not about inheriting a mature office structure.
It’s about building a regional presence with an established national platform behind you.
The role is aimed at entrepreneurial, commercially driven M&A professionals who can originate, lead and execute lower mid-market transactions.
What stands out:
• Genuine opportunity to shape the Manchester/North West presence
• Significant autonomy and regional ownership
• Established national platform, brand and track record
• Direct link between personal performance and earnings
• Future equity opportunity without a heavy upfront buy-in
• Open-minded around individuals or potentially small teams
Headline structure:
• Base draw likely between £100k–£200k
• 30% of fees generated above 3x draw
• Example shared: £150k draw + £1m fees generated = c£315k total comp
• Equity expected after c2–3 years
Likely fit:
• Existing Partners wanting more freedom/upside
• Origination-led Directors ready to step up
• Lower/mid-market dealmakers with strong regional networks
• Commercially confident advisers who back themselves
Less suited to pure execution profiles or individuals heavily reliant on larger institutional platforms for deal flow.
Discretion assured.
