Arbetsbeskrivning

Aspia is looking for an M&A Manager to join Group Business Development and help drive our continued growth across the Nordic region. This is a hands on role in a lean M&A team, with broad responsibility across the entire transaction process. You will work on platform investments, add on acquisitions and selected divestments, from identifying opportunities and developing the investment case to due diligence, negotiation and completion. You will report to the Group Head of M&A and work closely with Aspia’s Group Management Team, Country Managers and other senior stakeholders across the business.

About Aspia

Aspia is a leading Nordic provider of technology enabled accounting, payroll, tax and advisory services. Founded in 2018 under the ownership of IK Partners, Aspia was acquired by Vitruvian Partners in 2023. The Group has committed to delivering majority of its growth by 2030 through mergers and acquisitions, reinforcing the critical role of inorganic expansion in shaping Aspia's long-term strategy and value creation.

The role

You will take responsibility for the daily management of M&A processes across the Nordics. This includes:

• Identifying, approaching and evaluating potential acquisition targets
• Driving transaction processes with a high degree of independence and ownership from initial outreach through completion
• Coordinating financial, commercial, legal, tax and other due diligence workstreams
• Developing valuations and financial models, including DCF, LBO, comparable company and precedent transaction analyses
• Assessing transaction structures and supporting the negotiation of key commercial terms
• Preparing NBOs, LOIs, investment committee papers, Board materials and management presentations
• Turning strategic, financial and diligence findings into clear investment recommendations
• Supporting strategic and corporate development initiatives alongside core M&A responsibilities
• Managing internal stakeholders and external advisers throughout the process

Qualifications

You have 2-3 years of relevant experience from investment banking, corporate finance, private equity, in house M&A or a leading strategy consultancy and expect you to have:

• Strong financial modelling, valuation and analytical skills
• Experience working with complex processes involving several stakeholders and parallel workstreams
• The ability to form an independent view and communicate it clearly
• Strong attention to detail without losing sight of the broader investment case
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders, business owners and external advisers
• Excellent written and spoken Swedish and English

Fluency in Swedish or another Nordic language is an advantage. Experience from business services, such as accounting, payroll, tax, audit, consulting or adjacent sectors, is also valuable but not a requirement.

You are likely someone who enjoys taking ownership, works well at pace and is comfortable moving between detailed analysis and senior discussions. You are commercially minded, pragmatic and motivated by getting deals done, not simply analyzing them. You are able to drive complex processes with a high degree of independence and thrive in an entrepreneurial environment where priorities can evolve quickly. Beyond transactions, you have a genuine interest in business, strategy and value creation, and are excited by the opportunity to contribute to broader initiatives across the Group

What we offer

You will join a high performing M&A team with a central role in Aspia’s Nordic growth strategy. The position offers genuine transaction ownership, close exposure to senior decision makers and the opportunity to work across the full deal lifecycle.

For someone looking to move from an advisory environment into a principal role, or to take on broader responsibility within M&A, this is an opportunity to see decisions through from the first conversation with an owner to the completed transaction.
