Director- Capital Markets & Accounting Advisory

About Unity Advisory

Unity Advisory is a pure-play, experience-led CFO advisory firm providing integrated finance, commercial, tax and deals support. We are free from audit conflicts and AI-enabled by design, combining deep technical expertise with automation, analytics and AI built into the delivery of every engagement. We are building an alternative to traditional advisory firms, focused on clarity over complexity, outcomes over hours, and practical advice delivered at pace for CFOs making high-consequence decisions.

The Capital Markets & Accounting Advisory team at Unity provides ‘end-to-end’ support for companies on their transaction and IPO journeys. This includes IFRS & US GAAP, Regulatory and exchange rules and regulations, carve-out and pro forma reporting, deal structuring and PMO, internal controls (including SOX), and post-IPO public company advice and support.

We operate with a tech-first delivery model. You will be expected to drive how technology, data, and automation are used across engagements, improving efficiency and consistency, and moving away from traditional manual approaches. You should be able to demonstrate your ability to work heavily with AI in both business development and execution.
