CharteredPartners is seeking an experienced mergers and acquisitions advisory professional to join our client in Singapore at Partner level. The successful candidate will lead origination and execution of sell-side and buy-side mandates across ASEAN, owning the client relationship from first approach through to completion and carrying a personal fee budget. Specific qualifications, regulatory fluency and technical breadth are detailed in the sections that follow.

Confidential Client. Applying to this position means that you are interested to have an initial confidential discussion about how we can help you to identify and join a new accounting-firm practice. With your authorisation we will exclusively run the entire application and recruitment process for you, keeping you apprised at every step. 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:

  • Originate sell-side and buy-side M&A mandates across ASEAN, converting a personal network of corporates, private equity sponsors and family offices into engaged deals.
  • Lead end-to-end execution, including valuation, information memorandum preparation, buyer outreach, management presentations and negotiation through to signing and completion.
  • Own commercial terms on engagements, setting fee structures and retainers and carrying accountability for a personal revenue target.
  • Direct deal teams of directors, managers and analysts, reviewing financial models and marketing materials for technical accuracy and quality.
  • Advise vendors and acquirers on deal structuring, SPA mechanics, completion accounts and earn-out arrangements alongside legal and tax counsel.
  • Build and protect relationships with the SGX, MAS-regulated buyers, the regional PE community and corporate development teams to sustain repeat mandate flow.
  • Contribute to practice strategy, brand positioning and the development of junior bankers within the corporate finance team.

Required Qualifications and Skills:

  • CA (Singapore), ACA, ACCA, CPA or CFA, with a recognised degree in finance, accounting, economics or a related discipline.
  • Twelve or more years in M&A advisory, investment banking or corporate finance, including a sustained record at Director or Partner level.
  • Demonstrable origination track record, with verifiable mandates won and closed across the ASEAN region.
  • Fluency in the SGX listing and takeover environment, including reverse takeovers, and the MAS regulatory perimeter relevant to corporate finance advice.
  • Authoritative command of valuation under IVS, DCF, trading and transaction comparables and LBO frameworks.
  • Deep understanding of SPA mechanics, net debt and working capital adjustments and completion accounts.
  • Established relationships across the regional private equity and family-office buyer universe.
  • Strong commercial judgement, with the credibility to advise boards and controlling shareholders.
  • Excellent written and spoken English, with the gravitas to lead negotiations and win new business.
  • Evidence of leading and developing high-performing advisory teams.

Preferred Experience:

  • Cross-border experience spanning Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines.
  • Sector specialisation in areas such as technology, consumer, industrials, healthcare or financial services.
  • A portable book of business and an active pipeline of near-term opportunities.
  • Prior experience within a recognised global or strong regional accounting-firm deals practice.
  • Exposure to public-market transactions and SGX takeover-code situations.
  • Working proficiency in Mandarin or Bahasa Indonesia for regional counterparties.

Compensation:

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

  • 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.
