M&A Partner

M&A Advisor | Commercial Growth-Focused | Adelaide, Perth or Melbourne | OTE potential for $400k+ Uncapped

We're currently recruiting for an exceptional opportunity for a commercially minded leader to step into an M&A Advisor role within a unique advisory firm helping private businesses scale, prepare for exit, or navigate strategic change.

This is not your traditional M&A role. In fact, we’re not looking for a typical investment banker or corporate financier. What we need is someone who brings :

• Commercial acumen
• A deep understanding of how small and mid-sized businesses operate
• The drive and resilience to build relationships, generate opportunities, and win new business

This role would suit someone with a background in finance, accounting, business ownership, or commercial operations who is now looking for something more entrepreneurial — with a significantly higher earning potential.

What You Will Be Doing

• Work closely with business owners to understand their growth or exit aspirations
• Guide them through structured campaigns designed to drive strategic interest in their business
• Conduct commercial reviews and exploratory meetings to qualify opportunities
• Lead business development campaigns (with lead support) and nurture long-term client relationships
• Manage client project delivery in line with process and campaign milestones
• Operate with a balance of client campaign management (60%) and business development (40%)

What We Are Looking For

• Strong commercial instincts and proven business insight
• Experience working with or within small to mid-sized businesses
• Financial or operational background preferred but not essential (e.g. ex-CFO, GM, strategy, commercial manager, entrepreneur)
• Confidence and maturity to advise business owners and engage credibly at founder / CEO level
• Ability to work independently while being part of a collaborative national team
• Comfortable with business development, lead qualification and relationship-based sales
• Willing to take a risk on a new career move

Why This Role

• Base salary is low; however, the average M&A advisor is earning $400,000 ++++ per year
• Uncapped earning potential with generous incentive model
• Were looking for someone to start up the practice in either Adelaide, Perth or Melbourne
• High-impact role with significant autonomy and commercial influence
• Backed by a strong brand, experienced leadership, and operational support

If you’re a commercially driven leader who wants to combine business development, client advisory, and strategic impact – and be financially rewarded for it – I’d love to have a confidential chat. Please apply via the link or directly to Dave Goldbach at
