About us

Dyer Baade & Company is a London-based M&A advisory firm advising owners, CEOs and professional investors on transactions in the £20–200m valuation range, with a particular specialisation in deals that involve an exit to Private Equity and mid-market transactions in the wealth management sector. We focus selectively on mandates where strategic preparation, disciplined execution and competitive dynamics materially influence valuation and deal terms.

The firm is currently investing significantly in workflow automation, AI-enabled research, knowledge management and transaction execution infrastructure to further enhance quality, efficiency and scalability across advisory processes.

We are now hiring an M&A Transaction Advisory Manager to strengthen our deal execution capabilities and support the firm’s growth ambitions.

About the role

We are looking for an experienced transaction professional with a strong background in Transaction Services / Financial Due Diligence who is seeking to broaden their exposure to live M&A transactions within a specialist advisory environment.

This role is particularly suited to candidates who enjoy analytical depth, high-quality execution and working on complex transactions in a detail-oriented and intellectually rigorous environment.

The successful candidate will support the execution of M&A and strategic advisory mandates, working closely with senior advisers across a range of transaction workstreams. As part of the firm’s broader operational development, the role will also involve helping drive the implementation and refinement of AI-enabled workflows, research processes and execution tools across selected areas of the transaction lifecycle.

Rather than broad end-to-end deal ownership from day one, the role is designed to develop deep expertise across key areas of transaction execution, financial analysis, advisory delivery and project management.

The position offers meaningful involvement across complex live transactions within a focused and collaborative boutique environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing key workstreams across live M&A transactions

  • Preparing high-quality client materials, including financial models, information memoranda, board presentations, research and analytical materials

  • Managing due diligence processes, data requests and transaction documentation workflows

  • Performing detailed financial analysis and building supporting financial models

  • Supporting transaction reporting, process coordination and stakeholder communication

  • Coordinating internal and external parties to ensure deliverables are completed accurately and on schedule

  • Assisting with the management of multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced environment

  • Developing specialist expertise across selected aspects of M&A execution and advisory work

  • Supporting the refinement and implementation of AI-enabled tools, workflow automation and knowledge management processes across selected transaction workstreams

  • Supporting junior team members and contributing to a high-performance team culture

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate will likely have trained within a Big 6 or leading advisory environment and already gained experience in Transaction Services / Financial Due Diligence and live transaction processes.

The successful candidate will combine strong technical and analytical capabilities with an interest in process improvement, workflow optimisation and the practical application of technology within an advisory environment.

The role is best suited to individuals who are highly organised, detail-oriented and commercially minded, and who are seeking to build long-term expertise within a specialist advisory platform rather than pursuing purely short-term transactional exposure.

We are particularly interested in candidates who value quality, professionalism and execution excellence, and who enjoy working within structured, high-accountability environments.
