Transaction Services Executive

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. The Transaction Services (TS) team helps clients to navigate a transaction, whether they’re buying or selling a business, or raising debt or equity, including on public markets. We use analytical and investigative skills to build our clients’ understanding of a business ahead of a transaction, helping them negotiate areas such as price and deal structure. Our clients include companies, PE houses and banks, and we work with buyers and sellers. The earlier we get involved, the more value we can add, for example, helping a company to prepare for a sale or fundraising. That means you could work with private equity-owned businesses, shareholders preparing to sell, or businesses looking to grow through acquisitions.
