The posting

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

Our Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) team advises entrepreneurs and mid-market clients on selling their businesses and buying other businesses. To do this, we have experienced sector and regional specialists who understand our clients’ business objectives and the industry and markets they work in. We use our knowledge and expertise to advise and challenge our clients, with the majority of our projects being sell-side. We also offer complementary services in Debt Advisory, Growth Advisory, Financial Modelling, Value Creation Services and Commercial Due Diligence to help our clients throughout their growth journey. In addition, we work closely with other streams across the organisation, including Advisory TS and Tax, to provide a singular approach to helping our clients succeed.

The role you’ll have

As a Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) Consultant/Assistant Manager, you’ll take a role in project delivery, as well as helping with Business Development. You’ll be responsible for the delivery of analysis relevant to strategy and CDD projects, lead modules of work. You’ll interact with clients, as well as review the relevant market areas for potential targets and subsectors of interest. The role is primarily based in CDD Life Sciences and Healthcare team

You'll be someone with

  • A qualification ACCA, ACA or equivalent
  • CDD and/or Strategy experience: ability to lead a module of work, problem solve and analytical skills.
  • Preference for sector/service experience: may have done project work or relevant postgraduate qualification or have a relevant previous career in the sector/service area is desirable.
  • Business development skills: shows some knowledge of market changes and potential impact on clients, clear client communication and ability to develop rapport.
  • Ability to ask for help from senior team when needed, contribute more widely to running the team and to BDO.

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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
