Transaction Services Manager

Succeed by shaping what matters

We’re BDO, one of the UK’s largest accountancy and business advisory organisations, helping ambitious businesses, their owners and management teams navigate a changing world.

With circa 8,500 people across the UK and Ireland, backed by a global network spanning 169 countries, there’s lots of knowledge, experience and different thinking to draw on here. But what matters is what you bring to it; your ideas, perspectives - the things you care about getting right.

So, here’s where you come in:

The team you’ll join

The Transaction Services (TS) team helps clients to navigate a transaction, whether they’re buying or selling a business, or raising debt or equity, including on public markets. We use analytical and investigative skills to build our clients’ understanding of a business ahead of a transaction, helping them negotiate areas such as price and deal structure. Our clients include companies, PE houses and banks, and we work with buyers and sellers. The earlier we get involved, the more value we can add, for example, helping a company to prepare for a sale or fundraising. That means you could work with private equity-owned businesses, shareholders preparing to sell, or businesses looking to grow through acquisitions. 

The role you’ll have

In Transaction Services, you will have the opportunity to support a range of clients by providing due diligence services to support them through events such as acquisitions, sale processes and capital markets transactions. We help to deliver successful transaction outcomes through our data-driven insights and commercial acumen.

You’ll be someone who is both comfortable working proactively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with BDO directors and partners to help businesses effectively. You’ll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to organisations we work with.

You’ll be someone with

• ACA/ACCA qualified (or equivalent), or relevant work experience.
• Previous staff supervision or management experience.
• Excellent knowledge of MS Office, in particular Word, Powerpoint and Excel.
• Extensive experience of managing financial due diligence projects, which includes the preparation and interpretation of financial analysis
• Ability to build positive relationships with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders, fostering effective collaboration and clear communication in a professional environment.
• Demonstrates a pro-active approach to continuous development

You’ll have people around you to learn from, ask questions and share thoughts with, alongside learning programmes to enhance your skillset and digital platforms to ease your work. All of this helps you succeed in achieving those big (and personal) dreams.

How you’ll succeed

You’ll have plenty of ways to develop at BDO; you might build deeper expertise in what you already do, take on something new or simply get better at the things that matter to you.

How and where you work matters too. Our agile working framework is designed around our Better Together approach: bringing more in-person time with clients and teams, creating more opportunities to share ideas, build confidence and develop day-to-day.

Whatever success looks like to you, you won’t be shaping it alone. You’ll have people around you who want you to do well, and plenty of opportunities to make it all count.

That’s how we’ll all continue to succeed by shaping what matters.
