Job Description
THE COMPANY AND SITUATION:
One of the country’s top accountancy firms has a need for a qualified accountant with Forensic Accounting experience to fill a role with vast potential and opportunity in their Bristol office. The prospect here is to move up to become Director of Forensic Accounting for the entire Bristol region with complete autonomy.
THE EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:
The experience and qualifications required for this opportunity are as follows:
• Fully qualified accountant
• 2 - 3 years of post-qualification experience in an accountancy practice
• Preferably 2 years, but at least 1 year of experience in Forensic Accounting
• Both reporting and client-facing experience in Forensic Accounting
• A personality robust enough to deal with litigators
Please note that the above is essential, you require all of the above in order to be eligible for this role. If your Forensic Accounting experience has been as a small part of a wider role, that is acceptable too, as long as your cumulative Forensic Accounting experience tots up to the equivalent of at least a year (for example, if you spent about a third of your time doing Forensic Accounting over a period of three years, then do send us your CV).
Desirable, but not essential, are any of the following:
• Forensic Accounting experience with a top-ten or mid-tier accountancy firm
• Experience in Excel
• Previous experience of having managed a Forensic Accounting team
THE ROLE
You will have a large degree of autonomy in this role immediately, as the existing director is overseeing both Bristol and the Midlands at present, so someone with a large degree of self-sufficiency would be most welcome! The role will consist of a mix of both Forensic Accounting client work such as investigations, reporting & analysis, and growing the practice by means of marketing, maintaining contact with previous clients, following up leads, etc. Your objective here is to grow the Forensic Accounting practice.
THE OPPORTUNITY – WHY LEAVE YOUR JOB TO DO THIS ONE?
Have you perhaps hit a ceiling in your current situation? Then time to move here! At present the existing Director of Forensic Accounting is having to oversee both Bristol and the Midlands, yet he wishes to extract himself from Bristol in order to fully concentrate on developing the Midlands region. Therefore the opportunity here is that if you grow the Bristol region sufficiently, you will step up a grade, bring someone in beneath you and in the longer term, run the entire region with full autonomy.
