Apply for the Financial Advisory Assistant Manager
Location: London
Job Description:

We are partnering with a leading upper mid-market advisory firm to recruit an Assistant Manager into its Restructuring Advisory team.

This is a strong opportunity for a restructuring professional to join a highly regarded team focused on advisory-led engagements with stressed and distressed businesses, rather than formal insolvency appointments.

The Role

The successful candidate will work closely with senior leadership and gain direct exposure to Partners across a wide range of engagements, including:

  • Delivery of Independent Business Reviews (IBRs) for lenders and stakeholders
  • Advising stressed and distressed businesses on financial, operational, and liquidity challenges
  • Supporting Accelerated M&A (AMA) and other transaction-led restructuring processes
  • Working across both lender-side and company-side advisory assignments
  • Building sector expertise within a defined industry focus
  • Developing strong stakeholder management and financial analysis skills across complex situations

Why This Opportunity?

  • Predominantly advisory-focused role with minimal formal insolvency work (no liquidations, administrations, or appointment-taking responsibilities)
  • Close working relationship with the Partner leading the team
  • Strong exposure to both restructuring and transaction-style advisory work
  • Opportunity to develop a clear sector specialism
  • Excellent platform for progression within a growing upper mid-market practice
  • Competitive salary of up to £65,000 plus bonus
  • Flexibility to support Transaction Services projects during quieter restructuring periods, broadening overall deal exposure

Candidate Profile

The firm is seeking a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or equivalent) with experience in restructuring, turnaround, corporate recovery, or transaction advisory, who is looking to move into a more advisory-led role with strong Partner exposure and sector focus.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a high-quality platform offering varied deal exposure, strong career progression, and meaningful client responsibility from day one.
