Business Interruption Specialist

Our Forensic Accounting Services team quantifies business interruption and complex financial loss for global insurers, reinsurers and captives. The work centres on high value, technically complex claims across sectors such as energy and other specialist risk classes, where detailed analysis and sound judgement are critical.

This role offers direct involvement in complex claims, combining hands-on technical delivery with close collaboration alongside senior specialists in a respected global practice. The work is varied, challenging and commercially relevant. As part of the team, you will analyse and quantify business interruption and other financial losses, supporting investigations arising from operational disruption and complex insured events.

You will work with insurers, brokers, insured clients and internal colleagues to obtain financial information and agree appropriate methodologies. Financial models will be built, tested and reviewed to ensure assumptions and outputs are robust and defensible. You will also contribute to clear, well-structured forensic reports, explaining complex financial matters with accuracy and confidence.

Responsibility for defined elements of large, multi-faceted claims will sit alongside supporting senior colleagues on wider engagements. Ongoing development of sector knowledge, particularly within power, energy and technical risks, will form a key part of the role, with all work undertaken in line with professional, regulatory and confidentiality standards.

This is perfect for someone who enjoys rigorous analysis, values technical depth, and wants to grow their forensic expertise within a collaborative, inclusive and intellectually demanding environment.
