• Support forensic investigations and litigation support engagements, including analysis, documentation and reporting
• Interpret complex financial information and contribute to clear, concise reports for clients, creditors and stakeholders
• Apply relevant accounting standards, legislation and case law across engagements
• Support due diligence, industry research and ad hoc advisory projects

Experience & Attributes

• 3-7 years’ experience in restructuring, corporate finance, due diligence, transaction services, forensics or a related advisory field
• CA, CFA or equivalent qualification (or working towards)
• Background in a Big 4 or professional services environment is highly regarded
• Strong analytical and financial modelling capability, with advanced Excel skills
• Excellent written skills with experience preparing reports or delivering structured analysis
• Strong verbal communication skills and ability to engage with a range of stakeholders
• Detail-oriented, methodical and able to work under pressure to meet deadlines
• Commercially aware with a logical, solutions-focused mindset
• High level of integrity, professionalism and confidentiality
