Business Restructuring Senior Manager (Advisory)

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

Our Business Restructuring (BR) team works nationally and internationally with businesses and individuals that are facing financial or operational difficulties, or potentially insolvency. Whenever possible, we look to return a business to health and work closely with management teams and other stakeholders to find the best way forward. We have a commercial approach to preserving value, finding efficiencies and improving business performance. Our clients include companies and their directors, domestic and international banks, pension funds, private equity, alternative investment funds and government agencies.

The role you’ll have

As a Business Restructuring Senior Manager, you’ll join our team working on mainly advisory, turnaround, accelerated M&A and insolvency assignments. The role offers varied and often high-profile work, with early responsibility and genuine opportunities to lead projects, develop junior colleagues, build market relationships and contribute to the continued growth of the business. You’ll lead defined workstreams on larger or more complex projects, prepare draft Independent Business Reviews, restructuring reports and other written or analytical outputs for review, and manage client and stakeholder relationships. You’ll also take ownership of project planning, financial management, quality and delivery, while playing an active role in business development through proposals, pitches and wider team initiatives.

You’ll be someone with:

- A relevant professional qualification (ICAEW/ ACCA)

- Strong financial analysis skills with an proven ability to identify and investigate key issues in a restructuring scenario, challenging where appropriate

- An insolvency qualification is desirable, but not essential

- Up-to-date understanding of regulatory and statutory requirements

- Strong working knowledge of Excel, Word, PowerPoint and IPS

- Project management skills and proven ability to manage multiple tasks/shifting priorities.

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.
