“IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN THE DEAL – IT’S ABOUT THE RIGHT OUTCOME FOR THE BUSINESS AND ITS PEOPLE.”

Based in our Glasgow office, Connor Sproule is a Senior Manager in our Corporate Finance team. He brings extensive knowledge and experience, having worked with clients across a wide range of sectors. His expertise covers the full transaction cycle – from initial analysis and strategic advice to execution and post-deal integration.

Beyond client work, Connor collaborates closely with the M&A team, contributing to business development and supporting the growth and progression of the junior team members.

After discovering a passion for working with ambitious business owners and investors, Connor pursued a career in Corporate Finance to help clients realise transformative opportunities through strategic transactions. Combining commercial insight, clear communication, and a people-first approach, Connor is a trusted advisor during some of the most significant moments in a client’s journey.

GENUINE CONNECTIONS, REAL RESULTS

“Trust, transparency and teamwork are at the heart of every successful relationship. My aim is always to make clients feel supported – not just as business partners, but as people. I strive to balance approachability with professionalism, ensuring clients feel comfortable asking questions and confident in every decision they make.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is seeing these relationships grow. What often begins as a deal can develop into a long-term partnership, with clients returning years later for guidance on new ventures. To me, that is the truest measure of success.”

RELIABLE ADVICE, EVERY STEP

“I combine technical expertise with a people-first approach to make complex challenges easier to navigate. Whether I’m building financial models, negotiating terms, or guiding clients through due diligence, my focus is on clarity and transparency at every step. I’m upfront about what’s achievable and aim to balance ambition with realism. Colleagues and clients often describe me as calm and reliable, particularly in high-pressure situations, and I take pride in being someone they can turn to for clear, practical advice when it matters most.”

DELIVERING WHAT MATTERS MOST

“The most satisfying part of my role is working with clients through the more challenging stages of a deal to reach an outcome that can be genuinely life-changing for them. No two transactions are the same, and it’s often during the difficult moments that trust really builds. I value how relationships evolve over time, from the first discussion to the completion of a deal, and how collaboration and open communication make all the difference.”

GROWING TOGETHER WITH AAB

“What I value most about AAB is the collaborative and forward-thinking culture. Everyone is encouraged to share ideas, challenge, and support one another. We’re not focused on transactions – we’re focused on building relationships and creating sustainable value for clients.

It’s motivating to work in an environment where ambition is matched by genuine care for people. The mix of technical expertise and human understanding is what sets AAB apart.”

CHANGING PERCEPTIONS

“People often see corporate finance as being all about the numbers, but it’s really about people and purpose. Every deal tells a story – of ambition, growth, and transformation. It’s about guiding clients through complex decisions, supporting their goals, and helping them realise opportunities that can redefine their businesses and their futures. The work doesn’t stop once the deal is done – it continues in the success, growth, and confidence our clients carry forward. That’s why I’m passionate about what I do, and why I believe this field is as much about relationships as it is about results.”

LOOKING AHEAD

“The future of corporate finance is full of possibilities, and that’s what drives me. The landscape is constantly evolving – new technologies, new markets, new challenges – and with that is the chance to innovate, adapt and deliver even greater value for clients.

At AAB, we turn change into opportunity. The blend of fresh thinking, data-driven insight and genuine collaboration means we can approach deals in smarter, more dynamic ways. It’s inspiring to be part of a team that’s shaping the future of M&A and helping clients achieve outcomes that truly make an impact.”
