Job Details

Your new company
A large, multi-office and independent firm, our client provides commercial, strategic and partner-led advice, being instructed by companies, investors, lenders and other stakeholders. Advisory streams across the firm include corporate finance, financial advisory, valuations, property consultancy, restructuring/corporate recovery and forensic accounting. As part of the firm's 3-4 year growth plan, Forensics is an area of key investment, as part of which some lateral Partner hires have been made across the UK, and as a result the practice is seeing some significant business wins in fraud/financial investigations (reactive and proactive), whistle-blowing and integrity/compliance.
Your new role
Acting closely with and as the #2 to the lead Partner, who has an impressive large and mid-firm background and following, this is a superb chance to both help shape and build the practice further, while running/delivering on projects such as:

  • White collar crime
  • Fraud
  • Money laundering
  • ICT
  • Breach
  • Contract non-performance
  • Theft and bribery
  • Whistle-blowing
  • Confidentiality breaches and conflicts of interest
  • Risk, compliance and governance including framework agreements


Clients are across a range of corporate, sector and institutions and include high profile entities - there may even be a chance of partly working in-house on the occasional client. This is a national practice, and the business development activities you conduct can be anywhere in the UK, but are likely to be concentrated most in your own area.



What you'll need to succeed
While the firm anticipates this is likeliest to be London, if you're based elsewhere in the UK then it's possible another office could be used as your base/hub. Do please enquire with me if that is the case (Midlands and the North/North West are also potentially in scope.)
In the meantime, in terms of your expertise and background:

  • ACA/ACCA or equivalent
  • Current/ most recent experience to be operating as a strong Senior Manager/AD level in a UK firm . PLEASE NOTE you must currently be in a Consulting/Practice firm. Applications from any other background (banking etc) cannot be considered.
  • Experience gained wholly/mainly in fraud, financial crime and investigations/litigation
  • Running projects and/or workstreams in larger projects
  • Already seeing some first fruits from your BD activties and keen to be "let off the leash" to do more
  • Thriving on a fast pace!
  • Sound and up-to-date knowledge of the compliance/regulatory landscape

**Please note this client has no ability to sponsor so visa-dependent candidates cannot be considered at this time**

What you'll get in return

  • In the current fraud market, the rare chance to get on the escalator of a genuinely fast-growth and well-invested function, headed by proven business leaders
  • A wider firm whose core business is highly complementary to fraud & litigation work, and where cross-collaboration will become increasingly lucrative
  • Meritocratic promotion - getting in on the early growth phase of this function means no "lockstep"
  • A brand which is well-recognised across the UK, yet not so overshadowingly large that you can't build your own brand & profile within it
  • An independent firm where conflicts are far rarer than in a full-service firm
  • A young team and agile delivery model
  • National forensic P&L so no "territorialism"
  • Bonus, the allocation of which is strongly pegged to individual contribution (behavioural as much as quantitative)
