Really rare role where you can work wholly one large case for at least the 1st year; longer if desired. Your new company My client is an Advisory/Accounting firm with a higher Advisory ratio than any comparable entity. This is partly due to their lower than usual audit gearing, and the advisory clients being typically larger in size than the assurance ones. Big firm partners who have joined the Advisory stream have found themselves rarely conflicted, which in turn has fuelled further growth. Lead Advisory, Transaction Services, Corporate Recovery/Restructuring, Valuations and Forensic are all well-developed and represented here, with significant investment for further expansion. The Forensic function is rare in the market as being very well-balanced between Fraud and Financial Crime, Disputes/Arbitration/ Contentious Valuations, Professional Negligence, Competion and F Tech. Adjacent are newer functions in Data Analytics and Cyber. Growth in this function has seen them with 1-2 Partners heading each of those categories and they continue to develop new specialisms by Partner acquisition. Your new role The Fraud and Financial Crime function attract heavyweight cases and one in particular has been running for several years, with Civil and Criminal work-streams. The Financial Crime partner would now like to bring in a Senior Manager to be wholly/mainly dedicated to this case, whose client is the Attorney General of the relevant jurisdiction. Once the first year is done, you would then have the choice of continuing on that case, or being replaced so you can roll off onto other projects. What you'll need to succeed ACA or equivalent accounting qualification Fraud/Financial crime experience gained in an accounting or consulting firm (please note CVs that have been purely in-house cannot be considered) Experience in the above to strong Manager or ideally existing Senior Manager level Some regulator exposure desirable Happy to be dedicated to one large case for the first year of your tenure What you'll get in return If you've been professional services all your career and have wondered what it might be like to be in-house, this is a "safe" way of being de facto in that situation, but from the comfort zone of still being in a consulting firm. And/or if you enjoy delivery but are not so keen on BD, this again is a role that will cater to that Equally, if you enjoy BD and see yourself rising a lot further in the Profession, after year one you can "power up" with plenty of Partner mentoring to get you there What you need to do now If you're interested in this role, click 'apply now' to forward an up-to-date copy of your CV, or call us now.

Work with young partners in a challenger Forensic function and international brand Your new company My client is a national advisory and accounting firm with a strong international brand and impressive, double-digit year-on-year growth. The firm has recently re-energised and expanded its forensic offering by bringing in Partners in 2 different UK locations, who have an ideal blend of mid-tier firm backgrounds. The current forensic offering is a good blend of expert, fraud/investigations and Ftech/cyber, and expansion will be primarily London focused, with an emphasis on disputes. The team work as a single P&L and as such share resource ,and Partners have considerable strategic autonomy in this "light-touch" firm. Furthermore the firm has global reach yet without the pricing structure of a Top 10 - this too is helping fuel Forensic expansion. The firm remains a full and proper Partnership. Your new role You'll be the to the London disputes Partner, working closely with him on everything from expansion strategy down to case delivery. Around 50% of the role will be focused on supporting and being a proactive part of market expansion. No better way of getting your own, emerging Expert profile and brand into focus! On the delivery side, matters are broad and varied but can include: InvestigationsBusiness interruption/loss of profitShareholder disputes and valuationsCommercial litigationExpert advisoryInsolvency litigationSale and purchase disputesMatrimonial disputesSports disputesProfessional negligenceThis latter - professional negligence - is a significant expansion point for the function ,as not all audit firms can field willing audit Partners to be Experts; our client has two who can be appointed in this capacity. The firm overall is well-established in Forensic Technology and Cyber - growing in the UK and a large function in the US. What you'll need to succeed As well as being a Senior Manager/AD in disputes/quantum Forensics, you're likely to be someone who is good at business development with some early proven results, yet you feel over-utilised at your current firm, and want to be "let off the leash" to do more BD. Of course in Expert work this can only play to your advantage - getting the firm/partner names out there reflects well on your own growing profile, as well as reaping early promotion rewards internally. You'll certainly see yourself as an emerging/future Expert in your own right, and see Partnership as your ultimate career goal. What you'll get in return Mentoring from Partners who have been in your shoes and want to help you get there. A competitive pricing structure, which nonetheless sustains high calibre output As well as Forensic experts, Experts in the wider firm with sector specialism and depth who can be fielded where necessary The flexibility to say "yes" to a wider range of mandates, in a firm/function which is not courting large ticket Agile and shared resourcing - forensics works as a single P&L A firm with strong EDI values and a couple of hundred people working within the firm to further engender and support this Properly meritocratic promotion and with a highly attainable partner track program What you need to do now If you're interested in this role, click 'apply now' to forward an up-to-date copy of your CV, or call us now.
