Job Details
Your new company
Formed as a split-off from a larger firm, our client is the newest firm to enter the London/UK forensic market. The three founding partners are all established and highly regarded Experts in their own right and wanted to create a firm which offers Big Four quality service with the flexibility and responsiveness that comes from a small, dedicated team, and without the independence concerns that come from other service lines. Even better, they themselves have had the experience of working in a split-off Forensic firm before and have distilled the best of that experience into their M.O. for the new firm. Having made Partner themselves in the last few years, they are well-positioned to mentor the next generation to becoming Experts in their own right.If you're new to Forensics, it's worth pointing out that Expert work comes to the Experts themselves first and foremost. The brand/firm they work for is purely about delivery capability. So in Expert work, you really can have Big 4 quality work in a "small" firm package.
Hays were highly instrumental in the building of their previous firm and are privileged to be working exclusively for the founding Partners in their new boutique.
Your new role
The firm run the full gamut of commercial disputes and are especially well-known in International Arbitration.On top of Arbitral matters, cases you could work on include:
- Breaches of contract
- Breaches of warranty
- Valuation disputes
- Accounting treatments
- Investment Treaty disputes
- Post M&A/transaction disputes
- Contract review
- Intellectual property
- Shareholder / JV disputes
- Funds & asset tracing
Within these, an example of what you'd be doing / training to do includes:
- Performing financial, accounting and economic analyses.
- Performing business valuations
- Drafting sections of expert reports.
- Communicating results as appropriate to the partners and clients.
- Interacting with clients and supporting business development activities including attending networking events.
What you'll need to succeed
This is a Disputes-lead practice, so if your interest in Forensics is purely or mainly Fraud/Compliance this is not the right role for you.
- Newly qualified ACA
- One who has especially enjoyed the more inferential/judgemental/intangible elements of your assurance experience
- Ideally some valuation sense-checking/assurance experience, or at least having to review clients' models
- Highly personable - this is an outgoing, happy and professional team and personality fit will be important
- Appetite to work in a new, still-growing boutique. Happy with the fact this means you'll be working with far fewer people than you're used to
- As well as audit backgrounds, advisory training backgrounds could also potentially be considered
and of course...
- ...A well-reasoned interest in Forensic Accounting!
****please note our client has no licence to sponsor, so only unrestricted UK candidates can be considered****What you'll get in return
- Being in on the ground floor of a challenger/disruptor firm in the London forensic market
- Learning directly from your Expert mentors
- Big 4 calibre work without having to work in a Big 4 firm
- Being part of a culture where everything will be celebrated as a team
- Working with genuinely lovely people
- Fully egalitarian approach to bonus sharing
