Our motto when it comes to career development is “Your Journey, Your Voice, Your Success".

Azets is an award winning leading firm of Accountants and Business Advisers operating across the UK, Nordics and the USA. We are a family of over 6,500 employees and work across 100 offices in the UK alone. We have seen dramatic growth in recent years which has made us the 9th largest accountancy firm in the UK, and we are over the moon to have been awarded Accountancy Firm of the Year in the FD Excellence Survey 2020. As a result of this growth, we are now looking to invest in our skills set even further!

We look for people who can not only collaborate with peers but can also bring their own voice to the table. We want people who are dynamic in their approach and respectful of other people’s opinions. We're looking for someone who wants to join a family of like-minded individuals and be more than just a team member.

As part of your role as Corporate Finance Manager you will bridge the gap between the Executives and the Senior Management team, by not only delivering the more complex reporting, but working with the more junior team members to provide guidance, support and management. You will have day to day responsibility for managing Corporate Finance Transactions, including project management of those transactions, and day to day liaising with clients.

You will be able to lead meetings and relationships with your clients, providing detailed guidance on the information delivered and guide them through the transaction. You will be encouraged to network with wider Corporate Finance teams within the business to ensure you are working on a National level to service clients and keep technical expertise current.

You will ideally have a minimum of three years Lead Advisory Corporate Finance experience, probably gained in a top ten or larger regional accountancy firm or a specialist Corporate Finance boutique. You will possess strong financial analysis skills and strong report writing skills.

As part of the management team, your journey will continue via mentorship by the senior management team in both your local office and wider network to provide soft skills development such as more effective client management and staff management. Personal coaching will continue as your journey continues beyond formal qualifications which can be tailored to your own individual aspirations, should you set your sights on Director or Partner in the future.

"This is an opportunity to join one of the most active Corporate Finance businesses in the UK. The national Corporate Finance team of Azets advises on more than 100 deals every year in the owner-managed / SME space. As a manager in the Birmingham team, you can expect to be heavily involved in acquisitions, sales, fundraisings and buy-outs and will have a significant element of day to day contact with clients and targets. Our partners are hands-on, but will encourage you to take on responsibility for the day to day management of transactions, enabling you to both learn from the partners and from the on-the-job experience that you will gain.
