You will work alongside Managers and Partners to provide commercially grounded analysis and support clients through complex, often urgent situations.

• Apply relevant accounting standards, legislation and case law across engagements.
• Support due diligence work, sector research and a range of ad hoc advisory assignments.

Experience and Attributes

• 3 to 7 years of experience in restructuring, corporate finance, due diligence, transaction services, forensics or a similar advisory area.
• CA, CFA or an equivalent qualification, or progress toward one.
• Experience in a Big 4 or other professional services environment is considered an advantage.
• Strong analytical ability and financial modelling skills, with advanced Excel capability.
• Well-developed written communication skills, including report preparation and structured analysis.
• Confident verbal communication and the ability to work effectively with different stakeholders.
• Organised, detail-focused and able to perform well under pressure and to tight deadlines.
• Commercially minded with a logical, practical and solutions-based approach.
• High standards of integrity, professionalism and confidentiality.

What You Bring

You are likely to enjoy solving complex business problems, working with both quantitative and qualitative information, and turning analysis into clear, client-ready insights. You should also value variety, exposure to senior leaders and the chance to strengthen your capabilities quickly.

What You Will Gain

• Experience across restructuring, Independent Business Reviews, due diligence, M&A, forensics and valuation-related work.
• Direct interaction with Partners and senior leaders.
• Opportunities to strengthen both technical and commercial skills.
• A supported pathway for career growth and progression.
