Forensic Accountant – Manager

{ “@context”: “http://schema.org”, “@type”: “JobPosting”, “title”: “Forensic Accountant – Manager”, “description”: “

This is a UK advisory firm with deep roots in insolvency and restructuring, where forensic work sits at the centre of contentious, investigation-led mandates. The team works closely with officeholders, legal advisers and corporate stakeholders on high-profile disputes, fraud matters and insolvency-related investigations.

This is not a siloed disputes role within a large corporate structure. The London team operates with pace and commercial focus, giving Managers genuine visibility, responsibility and influence from day one.

With sustained growth in contentious and investigation-led work, the team is now looking to hire a Manager to take ownership of live matters and play a visible role in shaping delivery.

What you’ll be doing

  • Lead forensic investigations and dispute engagements from initial scoping through to expert reporting
  • Work directly with insolvency practitioners and legal advisers on contentious matters
  • Shape case strategy including fraud analysis, asset tracing and quantum assessments
  • Manage junior team members and review complex financial analysis
  • Contribute to business development and support the continued growth of the practice

What you’ll bring

  • Strong forensic accounting experience within disputes, investigations or insolvency-related work
  • Experience leading engagements and supervising teams
  • Confidence dealing with legal stakeholders and senior clients
  • Commercial judgement and the ability to balance strategy with detailed financial analysis

Who this suits

You are likely operating at Manager level within a larger disputes team and want greater ownership of cases and closer proximity to decision-makers. You enjoy contentious work and want exposure to matters that are commercially and legally significant, not just technically complex.

You are ready for a role where your contribution is visible and your progression is not constrained by layers of hierarchy.

Apply for a confidential conversation with Walker Lovell.
