Develop as a regional go-to professional, while working with UK-wide Experts.
My client is a well-regarded national and European advisory and accounting firm, with a culture that encourages ideas and collaboration. The Forensic function has Partners in 3 locations, and a supporting Valuations function which is also entering a growth phase. Having made several acquisitions, the firm is now focused on organic growth and there is real momentum to pull through its SMs to Director and its Directors to Partner. Conflicts in Forensics are minimal and are amply outweighed by the extensive internal referrers potential. Forensics is a national P&L.
This opening is to be the #2 in the north-west, with a clear and meritocratic run through to Director and Partner. While still a young team/function they have already established themselves in the following areas:
- Expert witness in commercial/litigation disputes
- Dispute Advisory
- Loss of Earnings
- Contentious Valuations
- Litigation Support
- Investigative Accounting
- Fraud Investigations
- Corporate Intelligence
- Asset Tracing
It is at your discretion what you want to market to, be known for and be briefed on, and the WIP coming through is likely to be a blend of the above with quantum matters always at the heart of the portfolio. Business Development is properly collaborative, as is the contribution calculation: it’s important to note that when it comes to Partner track, fees are anything but simply calculated on own generation. Contribution takes many forms and the firm has metrics in place to recognise this. So you have every incentive (personal and corporate!) to grow your presence on the regional and national circuit.
A full job spec is available of course.
This is exactly the right role for someone who feels they’re within touching distance of Director in the next 12-18 months, but would like more support and market exposure to get there (and beyond!). If that sounds like you and you are:
- ACA/ACCA/CFA qualified
- An existing Senior Manager/AD in Forensics
- Someone who enjoys a broad range of projects across quantum/valuation/loss as well as investigative and technical forensic accounting matters
...then please have a conversation with me.
What you’ll get in return:
- Full support and mentorship from national and regional Experts on your career journey
- Significant investment for growth, acting as a catalyst to your own
- Whole-team collaboration and effort on marketing and BD
- Large firm resources and brand, yet not so large that it overshadows your own brand
- Genuinely personable colleagues - no big egos
- A firm with an excellent track record of internal Partner promotion
