Financial Modeller

M&A Advisory  |  Due Diligence  |  Equity Investment  |  Immediate Start

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Financial Modeller to join our team on an immediate basis to support a live M&A transaction. You will be a central member of the deal team, responsible for building and maintaining the financial model underpinning due diligence for a significant acquisition. The model will be a cornerstone deliverable for equity investors preparing an Investment Committee submission, and must meet the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and analytical rigour.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and own a comprehensive financial model to support M&A due diligence, including detailed operating, financing, and returns analysis.

• Produce investment returns analysis (IRR, MOIC, equity bridge) structured for presentation to equity investors at Investment Committee.

• Synthesise financial, operational, and market data to produce scenario and sensitivity analyses that stress-test key transaction assumptions.

• Collaborate closely with the advisory deal team, legal advisers, and client stakeholders to ensure the model reflects evolving transaction dynamics.

• Prepare clear, Board-ready model outputs, schedules, and supporting commentary suitable for IC packs.

• Identify and flag financial risks and structural issues arising through the modelling process.

Required Experience & Skills

• Background in Investment Banking or Private Equity, with direct experience supporting M&A transactions through financial modelling.

• Demonstrable experience building complex, integrated financial models from scratch — including three-statement models, LBO or acquisition structures, and waterfall / returns analyses.

• Strong understanding of due diligence processes and what equity investors require for IC submissions.

• Advanced Excel skills; financial modelling best practices and audit-ready model construction are essential.

• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to work at pace within a live transaction environment.

• Immediate availability — the role requires a prompt start to meet deal timelines.

Desirable

• Experience modelling Real Estate assets, portfolios, or PropCo/OpCo structures.

• Familiarity with Real Estate-specific metrics including NIY, topped-up NIY, WAULT, ERV analysis, and development appraisals.

• Exposure to real estate debt structures and financing assumptions within an acquisition model.
