About Capital & Trust

Capital & Trust is the UK’s leading buy-side M&A broker to specialist professional services — accountancy, wealth management, insurance, legal, and TICC. Since 2014, we’ve completed over 850 transactions, working with the most acquisitive buyers in the market.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for driven, articulate professionals ready to build a high-earning career in M&A. You’ll broker the sale of privately-owned firms to PE-backed consolidators, trade acquirers, and institutional investors — managing relationships, running deals, and operating at the sharp end of the transaction.

This is a role where your effort directly drives your earnings, and where the best performers build serious long-term wealth.

Key Responsibilities

• Direct outreach to business owners across accountancy, wealth management, insurance, and legal sectors — cold and warm calls, email, LinkedIn

• Attending industry networking events, conferences, and client meetings across the UK

• Managing the full transaction process from first conversation to completion

• Building and maintaining long-term relationships with business owners and acquirers

• Screening clients, interpreting financial information, and advising on deal structures

• Participating in rigorous ongoing training and sector development work

Requirements

• Degree from a strong university

• Several years of professional experience in a commercial, client-facing, or advisory role

• Confident and articulate on the phone and face-to-face with senior business owners

• Comfortable with direct business development and the accountability of a bonus-driven model

• Willing to travel across the UK for client meetings and networking events

• Able to work five days a week from our Leadenhall Street office (two minutes from Bank station)

Nice to Have

• Chartered accountant (ACA/ACCA) or legal qualification

• Proficiency in interpreting financial accounts

• Strong Excel skills

• Existing network in professional services

What’s on Offer

• Competitive basic salary plus uncapped bonus — top performers materially out-earn their peers

• Industry-leading training programme with direct mentorship from founders and senior brokers

• A proven playbook, warm inbound flow, and access to the most active buyers in the market

• Clear progression into senior broker and leadership roles as the business grows

• Regular social events including a Christmas ski trip, Royal Ascot, and team activities

Join us for a rewarding career in M&A where your ambition, professionalism, and results are properly acknowledged and rewarded.
