More ownership. Broader exposure. Complex forensic work that matters.

Looking for greater responsibility for forensic assignments, without being confined to a narrow specialism?

This is an opportunity to lead complex financial investigations and commercial disputes, work directly with lawyers and clients, and take ownership of assignments from initial analysis through to final reporting.

Benefits

  • Hybrid working arrangements

  • Opportunities for career development within an expanding forensic practice

  • Exposure to complex, high-profile assignments and experienced senior practitioners

Why this business?

Our client is an established UK advisory firm with a nationally recognised forensic practice.

Unlike larger, more heavily structured advisory environments, the practice offers Managers the opportunity to take meaningful ownership of assignments, rather than simply contributing to individual workstreams.

The firm also benefits from its independent market position, enabling it to undertake certain mandates where larger professional services firms may face conflicts of interest.

The work is varied, spanning financial investigations, fraud, commercial disputes, litigation support and contentious insolvency matters. The team advises both claimants and defendants, providing exposure to different perspectives and complex financial issues.

Continued growth is driving investment at Manager level, creating an opportunity to develop within an established practice while working closely with senior specialists.

Key priorities

  • Lead complex forensic accounting assignments, taking responsibility for delivery, client relationships and case strategy.

  • Investigate financial irregularities, trace assets and funds, and assess financial losses and disputed claims.

  • Prepare clear, evidence-based investigation findings and expert reports for clients, lawyers and other stakeholders.

  • Manage project budgets, deadlines and junior colleagues, ensuring high-quality analysis and reporting.

The expertise you'll need

  • ACA, ACCA or equivalent accountancy qualification, supported by substantive forensic accounting experience.

  • A strong background in financial investigations, commercial disputes or litigation support. Experience across both investigations and disputes is not essential.

  • Proven experience managing forensic assignments, analysing complex financial information and preparing professional reports.

  • Confidence communicating with clients and legal advisers, reviewing technical work and supporting junior colleagues.

We are also open to considering experienced Senior Managers seeking a new opportunity within an established forensic advisory practice.
