Why this opportunity
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
- ACA, ACCA or equivalent qualification
- 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.
