With over 30 years' combined experience of helping the most talented accounting, audit, tax and advisory professionals to make safe, well-judged moves into rewarding new roles, we have the experience, network and ability to help you.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead debt advisory mandates, including refinancing, acquisition finance and growth-capital raisings for corporates and sponsors.

  • Run competitive financing processes, preparing lender presentations, information memoranda and term-sheet negotiations to financial close.
  • Build and maintain relationships with regional banks, credit funds and institutional lenders across Greater China and the GBA.
  • Develop and review leveraged and debt-capacity models to assess affordability and headroom.
  • Advise on intercreditor arrangements, security packages and the documentation of facility agreements alongside legal counsel.
  • Direct and develop the analyst team and support partners on origination and business development.

Required Qualifications and Skills:

  • HKICPA membership, or an equivalent qualification such as ACA, ACCA or CPA, ideally with the CFA.
  • Ten or more years in debt advisory, leveraged finance or corporate banking, including time at Director or Senior Manager level.
  • Deep knowledge of debt structuring, covenants, intercreditor arrangements and security mechanics.
  • Strong command of credit analysis, leveraged modelling and debt-capacity assessment.
  • Established relationships across regional banks, credit funds and institutional lenders.
  • Fluency in IFRS and HKFRS as they bear on covenant definitions and financing.
  • Understanding of the HKEX and SFC environment where financing interacts with listed companies.
  • Sound grasp of acquisition-finance mechanics and their interaction with SPA terms.
  • Excellent written and spoken English, with the credibility to advise boards and treasurers.
  • A track record of leading and developing advisory teams.

Preferred Experience:

  • Mandarin fluency for Greater China borrowers and lender counterparties.
  • Experience of cross-border financing connecting the GBA with ASEAN or international lenders.
  • Exposure to special-situations, restructuring or distressed financing.
  • Sector depth in real estate, infrastructure, consumer or technology.
  • Prior experience within a recognised global accounting-firm or investment-bank advisory practice.
  • A portable network of borrower and lender relationships.

Compensation:

Competitive package commensurate with seniority and experience, including base, performance-based bonus, long-term incentives and (where applicable) partner-track participation.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
