Associate Director - Corporate Finance (M&A)

Old Mill is a forward-thinking professional services firm with a growing Corporate Finance team. We combine accountancy, tax, and wealth management under one roof, so our clients get joined-up advice at every stage of their business and personal journeys. Our ethos is simple: do great work and be nice to people. We support hybrid working, flexible hours, and bases across our South West offices.

We're now looking for an experienced M&A 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 M&A 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 You'll Be Doing

• Leading on transactions, including deal structuring and negotiations
• Working directly with clients to understand both business and personal objectives
• Delivering tailored solutions that align with client goals
• Supporting origination and business development as part of a team effort — our responsibility is shared
• Working cross-functionally within the organisation and with external stakeholders

What Makes Us Different

• Team-first approach: Success is collective here, with a focus on quality and colleagues backing each other
• Flexibility: after an initial settling-in period, you can base yourself at any of our five South West offices with a hybrid pattern of up to three days in the office each week, with part-time arrangements considered
• Growth and progression: In a smaller, agile team you’ll have more opportunity to take ownership and shape your career as we expand
• Breadth of work: Exposure to a wide variety of deals and sectors, with the option to specialise if you wish

Requirements

• Experience in M&A, ideally gained within accountancy or finance
• A proven track record in managing transactions end-to-end, including negotiations
• Strong communication skills, able to win trust and explain complex ideas clearly
• A strategic, proactive mindset, with the ability to spot opportunities and drive value for clients
• Collaborative, with the confidence to lead but the humility to contribute to a team effort

If you want to progress your career in Corporate Finance without being lost in a big, rigid hierarchy, Old Mill offers the best of both worlds: the backing of a multi-service firm with the feel of a close-knit, supportive team.

Benefits

• Generous Holiday Allowance - Start with a minimum of 26 days of annual leave, plus bank holidays, with the option to purchase up to 5 additional days
• Celebrate Your Birthday - Enjoy an extra day off to celebrate
• Flexible Working - Hybrid working model with 3 days a week in the office, allowing for a great work-life balance
• Employee Assistance Programme - Confidential support available 24/7 for your mental, physical, and financial wellbeing
• Ongoing Professional Development - Full funding for your professional qualifications, with continuous learning opportunities
• Perks and Discounts - Access to exclusive employee discounts on a wide range of products and services
• Pension Scheme - A competitive pension to help plan for your future
