Your new company
My client is an Advisory/Accounting firm with a higher Advisory ratio than any comparable entity. This is partly due to their lower than usual audit gearing, and the advisory clients being typically larger in size than the assurance ones. Big firm partners who have joined the Advisory stream have found themselves rarely conflicted, which in turn has fuelled further growth. Lead Advisory, Transaction Services, Corporate Recovery/Restructuring, Valuations and Forensic are all well-developed and represented here, with significant investment for further expansion.
The Forensic function is rare in the market as being very well-balanced between Fraud and Financial Crime, Disputes/Arbitration/ Contentious Valuations, Professional Negligence, Competition and F Tech. Adjacent are newer functions in Data Analytics and Cyber. Growth in this function has seen them with 1-2 Partners heading each of those categories and they continue to develop new specialisms by Partner acquisition.
Your new role
The Fraud and Financial Crime function attracts heavyweight cases and one in particular has been running for several years, with Civil and Criminal work-streams. The Financial Crime partner would now like to bring in a Senior Manager to be wholly/mainly dedicated to this case, whose client is the Attorney General of the relevant jurisdiction. Once the first year is done, you would then have the choice of continuing on that case, or being replaced so you can roll off onto other projects.
What you’ll need to succeed
- ACA or equivalent accounting qualification
- Fraud/Financial crime experience gained in an accounting or consulting firm (please note CVs that have been purely in-house cannot be considered)
- Experience in the above to strong Manager or ideally existing Senior Manager level
- Some regulator exposure desirable
- Happy to be dedicated to one large case for the first year of your tenure
What you’ll get in return
- If you’ve been professional services all your career and have wondered what it might be like to be in-house, this is a “safe” way of being de facto in that situation, but from the comfort zone of still being in a consulting firm.
- And/or if you enjoy delivery but are not so keen on BD, this again is a role that will cater to that
- Equally, if you enjoy BD and see yourself rising a lot further in the Profession, after year one you can “power up” with plenty of Partner mentoring to get you there
