Your newpany
A large, multi-office and independent firm, our client providesmercial, strategic and partner-led advice, being instructed bypanies, 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 a couple of 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), whistleblowing and integritypliance.

Your new role

4. ICT
5. Breach
6. Contract non-performance
7. Theft and bribery
8. Whistleblowing
9. Confidentiality breaches and conflicts of interest
10. Risk,pliance andernance 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.
In the meantime, in terms of your expertise and background:
11. ACA/ACCA or equivalent
12. Current/ most recent experience to be operating a strong Manager or existing Senior Manager 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.
13. Experience gained wholly/mainly in fraud, financial crime and investigations/litigation
14. Running projects and/or workstreams in larger projects
15. Off the starting blocks in business development terms and keen to do more
16. Thriving on a fast pace!
17. Sound and up-to-date knowledge of thepliance/regulatory landscape
**Please note this client has no ability to sponsor so international candidates cannot be considered at this time**
What you'll get in return
18. 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
19. A wider firm whose core business is highlyplementary to fraud & litigation work, and where cross-collaboration will be increasingly lucrative
20. Meritocratic promotion - getting in on the early growth phase of this function means no "lockstep"
21. 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
22. An independent firm where conflicts are far rarer than in a full-service firm
23. A young team and agile delivery model
24. National forensic P&L so no "territorialism"
25. Bonus, the allocation of which is strongly pegged to individual contribution (behavioural and quantitative!)
