Valuations Director

London | £100,000 - £130,000 + Bonus + Benefits | Clear Track to Partner

This is not a typical Valuations Director role.

I am working with a large, highly regarded accountancy firm in the City that is continuing to invest heavily across its Corporate Finance offering and is now looking for someone to take the number one position within Valuations.

The opportunity would suit an ambitious Senior Manager / Director who is currently operating as a strong number two or three within an established team, but wants the opportunity to spearhead a Valuations business of their own with the backing, infrastructure and client base of a major firm.

You will inherit an existing portfolio and benefit from a significant amount of support and warm opportunity across the wider business.

The Head of Corporate Finance will work closely with you initially, with the intention of gradually handing over responsibility until you are effectively running the Valuations business independently, with Partner and firm-wide support available whenever required.

The opportunity

You will have responsibility for:

• Leading and growing the firm's Valuations offering

• Managing an existing portfolio of valuation engagements

• Developing relationships with existing clients

• Converting warm internal referrals and cross-selling opportunities

• Building your own external network and originating work

• Working closely with Partners across Audit, Tax, Corporate Finance and wider Advisory

• Recruiting and developing your own team as the business grows

• Helping shape the long-term strategy of the Valuations function

• Progressing towards Partnership as the practice develops

There is already work and infrastructure to build from.

This is not a case of being handed an empty desk and being told to create £1m of revenue overnight.

The firm has a substantial client base, a rapidly growing Corporate Finance division, strong Partner relationships and plenty of opportunities for internal referrals and cross-selling.

What they need is someone ambitious enough to turn that platform into a significantly larger Valuations business.

What they are looking for

You will need:

• Significant Valuations experience within professional services

• Experience across both:

  • Financial reporting / audit support valuations

  • Commercial / transaction-related valuations, including purchase price allocation, share schemes or similar work

• ACA / ACCA / CFA or equivalent qualification

• Strong client relationship skills

• Some demonstrable business development / networking experience

• The confidence to identify and convert commercial opportunities

• An entrepreneurial mindset

• A genuine ambition to become a Partner and build something

You do not necessarily need to already be the person originating millions of pounds of work.

What matters is that you have already demonstrated commercial instincts, enjoy building relationships and actively want the responsibility that comes with running your own service line.

Why consider it?

For the right person, this offers something relatively rare:

An established firm.
An existing portfolio.
A growing Corporate Finance platform.
Partner support.
Warm leads.
The ability to build your own team.
And a genuine route to Partnership.

If you are currently sitting underneath an established Valuations Partner or Director and feel ready to build something of your own, this could be a very interesting next step.
