Transaction Service Senior Manager

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

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. 

The role you'll have

This role joins our Scotland Transaction Services Team at Senior Manager level. In your role you'll take a leading role in the execution and delivery of Transaction Services engagements, while also contributing to the growth of the business. You'll manage and develop a team and contribute to the success of the Transaction Services team in Scotland.


You will have:

  • ACA / ACCA (or equivalent) qualification
  • A strong track record of leading buy-side and/or sell-side transactions
  • Advanced technical skills across financial analysis, due diligence, and deal execution
  • Experience of managing teams and overseeing complex engagements
  • A proactive and commercially minded approach to client delivery and business development

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.

Apply now.

At BDO, we want everyone to feel included, valued and able to succeed. We welcome people from all backgrounds and are committed to improving access to opportunities – work we've been recognised for as Company of the Year at the 2026 British Diversity Awards. Because we know different experiences and perspectives make us stronger.
