Corporate Finance & Investment Banking (Banking & Financial Services)
Your New Firm
Enjoy the benefits of working under a highly successful principal with over 20 years in the Market and strong relationships to deliver deal flow. The firm has an enviable track record in closing sell-side M&A transactions, with an equally strong pipeline of mandates in early 2025. Most importantly, the culture is absent of politics, delivery of the highest quality is paramount, and your pathway is decided by your performance not years experience. As a Director led firm, everyone is hands on, no hierarchy or BS, or formal reviews, instead you have common sense management, and a true team environment. With executives happy to train, upskill and bring you on the journey, you'll be hard pressed to find a better place to learn and earn at the same time.
Your New Role
As part of a small team, you will provide the nuts and bolts support for the end to end processes. From running due diligence, the data room, creating compelling information memoranda (IM's), clear and impactful PowerPoint presentations/pitch decks, 3 statement financial modelling, and supporting all negotiations (whilst sitting at the table!). You'll report directly to the Firm Principals, no middle management, just direct support to the head honchos. As this team is purposely top heavy, there are no analysts, so as the associate, you will be hands on in delivery - equally, your executives are also hands on and not precious - they are in the trenches with you.
Your Profile
Your experience can be from a wide variety of backgrounds and still be relevant, as our Client wants the right PERSON rather than specific profile. You are engaging with a strong interpersonal presence, switched on, dedicated, quick learner, ambitious and passionate about M&A. Depending on your experience level, the expectations of what you can do on day one will vary. Ideally, you can hit the ground running in financial DD, presentations, IM's, pitch decks as you'll immediately have 2 x sell-side deals to jump straight onto. Any post graduate work/qualifications related would also be well regarded, i.e. Masters in Finance, CFA I/II/III, Grad dip in Applied Finance would be beneficial.
What's in it for you?
Perth now has over 100 businesses serving the M&A market according to our friends at the WA Business News (Book of Lists - Corporate Finance Advisories). Most are natural resources focused, led by interstate of overseas HQ's, or working very small or very large deals in satellite offices. This opportunity is in a unique sweet spot - middle market non resources, diversified industrials where deal target sizes (and track record) range $50-500m, with a head office in Perth. Did you know 1/3 of all M&A deals in WA over $100m are not resources related over the past 10 years? It's a bigger market than you think.
Executives you'll work with side by side, all hands on deck. Boutique size means quick decisions, faster upward trajectory. With fewer staff, bonuses are oversized and can even be larger than global IB's when larger deals close. Long term opportunity to gain equity in the firm based on fit, tenure, performance. A great name in the market, strong relationships, and the diversity of industries provides a recession proof business strategy, avoiding boom/bust cycles prone to WA. Work in an environment where you are supported, encouraged and valued. Your Application
