Corporate Finance Partner

Corporate Finance Partner – Manchester
Exclusive Mandate | Strategic Growth Appointment

Meraki Talent has been exclusively engaged to appoint a Corporate Finance Partner to lead and build a new Corporate Finance offering in Manchester for an established, full-service Chartered Accountancy firm.

• This is not a replacement hire.
• This is a strategic growth mandate.

The Opportunity:

The firm has an established, profitable UK-wide practice with a strong partner group across audit, tax and advisory. Manchester represents a key growth market, and Corporate Finance is the missing strategic pillar.
You will be appointed to:

• Build and lead the Manchester Corporate Finance function
• Shape service delivery across M&A, fundraising, valuations and due diligence
• Develop a regional presence aligned to the firm’s national ambitions
• Create and grow your own team, portfolio and long-term platform

  
The Platform:

• Established brand and national reputation
• Existing partner base and cross-referral infrastructure
• Office presence already in place
• Strategic appetite to invest in growth markets
• Support from audit, tax and advisory teams to drive deal flow

You will not be building in isolation.
You will be building with leverage.
  
The Mandate:

The incoming Partner will:

• Take control of Corporate Finance strategy in the region
• Drive origination and execution across mid-market transactions
• Develop long-term client relationships across the North West
• Influence board-level growth decisions within the wider firm

This is a leadership role with real influence.
  
What’s in It for You:

• Partner-level base salary (competitive six-figure)
• Performance-led bonus structure
• Meaningful equity participation
• Autonomy over direction and team build
• Clear control over your own P&L
• Entrepreneurial environment without corporate bureaucracy
• Long-term upside aligned with growth of the Manchester office

This role offers control, equity, and the ability to shape something material, not managing an inherited portfolio.

Who This Suits:

• An existing Corporate Finance Partner seeking greater autonomy
• A Director/Senior Director ready to step into equity
• An individual motivated by building and leading, not simply operating
