Joe Anderson

Corporate Finance Manager // Nottingham

I joined PKF Smith Cooper in November 2024, after previously working within the M&A team of a top 10 accountancy firm. I work closely with clients to understand their requirements and drivers, before formulating plans to execute successful transactions.

My responsibilities include the drafting of marketing materials, buyer and valuation research as well as financial analysis.

As well as this I will oversee the day-to-day running of transaction timetables to ensure the smooth execution of acquisitions, disposals, management buyouts, fundraising and a range of other advisory services.

Experience counts

Prior to joining PKF Smith Cooper, I worked in the M&A team of a top 10 accountancy firm.

Before moving into M&A, I spent several years advising non-audited clients on aspects ranging from management accounts through to personal and corporate tax planning. During my time working with non-audited businesses, I successfully completed the ACCA qualification.

Through both my previous roles I have extensive experience working with owner-managed businesses in many different industries and stages in their company journey.

Deeper knowledge

With a little over 10 years’ experience working within professional services, mainly working with privately owned businesses, I have worked across several different industries. Although my experience is sector agnostic thus far, I have strong experience within the financial services and healthcare industries.

Personally speaking

Outside of life at PKF Smith Cooper, I am a keen sports and music fan. I can be found on the golf course most weekends and am often spotted at live music events across the Midlands.
