Join us.

Behind every business is someone who has put years into building it. Understanding that person, and the business they have built, is where our work begins.

At dns Corporate Advisory, we specialise in SME buy-and-build. Our work takes us from researching a business and starting a conversation with its owner to understanding an acquisition and helping it move towards completion. It calls for curiosity about how businesses work, careful judgement and the patience to follow things through.

We look for self-starters who take responsibility and hold themselves accountable. You spot what needs doing, make a considered start and know when to ask for help. If something is yours, you stay with it until it is done, including when other people become involved. You are open about progress and setbacks, and follow through on what you have committed to.

An entrepreneurial mindset matters here. That means noticing an opportunity, thinking through its commercial value and taking the initiative to explore it. There is room to bring ideas and put them into practice, whether that is a better way to research a market, a useful tool or a process that makes the next piece of work easier. You ask questions, learn from feedback and change your mind when the evidence calls for it.

And we expect people to treat each other properly. That means being fair with colleagues, business owners, clients and advisers, whatever their position. Listening, being clear and keeping your word are part of doing the job well.
