Head of Corporate Finance
Job Description
Job Title: Head of Corporate Finance | Job Location: Glasgow
Your new company
This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading independent firm of Chartered Accountants based in Glasgow, known for its dynamic approach and commitment to delivering exceptional client service. The firm has built a strong reputation across Scotland and beyond, offering a comprehensive range of accountancy, audit, tax, and advisory services. As part of its strategic growth, the firm is seeking a visionary Head of Corporate Finance to lead and expand its thriving advisory division. This is a rare chance to join a business that blends tradition with innovation, and where entrepreneurial thinking is actively encouraged.
As Head of Corporate Finance, you will take charge of a high-performing team, driving deal origination and execution across a diverse portfolio of transactions including mergers and acquisitions, disposals, management buyouts, fundraising, and strategic advisory. You will be responsible for shaping the firm’s corporate finance strategy, building strong relationships with clients, intermediaries, and stakeholders, and identifying new business opportunities. This leadership role demands both technical excellence and commercial acumen, with the scope to influence the future direction of the firm’s advisory services. What you'll need to succeed
You will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent) with significant experience in corporate finance, ideally gained within a professional services or boutique advisory environment. A proven track record of leading transactions from inception to completion is essential, along with strong client-facing skills and the ability to inspire and develop a team. Strategic thinking, commercial awareness, and a passion for delivering value to clients will set you apart. Experience in the Scottish market is advantageous but not essential. What you'll get in return
This role offers a unique opportunity to join the senior leadership team of a respected and ambitious firm. You’ll benefit from a competitive salary and bonus structure, flexible working arrangements, and a supportive culture that values innovation and collaboration. The firm is committed to professional development and offers genuine scope for progression, making this an ideal move for someone looking to make a lasting impact in the corporate finance space. What you need to do now
If you're ready to take the next step in your career and lead corporate finance at one of Scotland’s most forward-thinking accountancy firms, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now through Hays or contact us for a confidential discussion about the role and your suitability.
