M&A Partner - Perth

Significant upside salary potential

M&A experience not essential

Strong commercial acumen, drive and SMB experience

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 Fit

Commercial acumen

A deep understanding of how small and mid‑size 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‑size 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

We’re 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
