Your new company
A Grade A firm with a superb growth trajectory, this client never even stopped hiring in 2020 and has more than doubled its Forensic capacity since. With a large Advisory function and comparatively low ratio of audit/tax clients (giving them in turn very few conflicts) the Forensic team has been given copious investment and the firm has become a natural home for many Big 4 professionals who seek a faster pace, enhanced investment and a genuine seat at the strategic table. The Forensic function is led by Partners with specialisms in Fraud, Commercial Disputes, Civil Disputes, Professional Negligence, Competition and Forensic Technology; the wider firm has recently launched both Data Analytics and Cyber service lines too.

  • International Arbitration

and of courseA well-reasoned interest in Forensic Accounting!
