The opportunity 

Our Financial Accounting Advisory Services (FAAS) team is growing exponentially, and as a Senior you’ll play a key role in that growth.

It’s all about listening to and understanding our clients to give them a truly exceptional experience in a field where there really are no off-the-shelf recommendations. 

Your key responsibilities 

The nature of this role means no two projects will be the same. That means you’ll need to think on your feet and challenge existing practices to develop answers to complex issues. You’ll also be collaborating with colleagues across multiple service lines, so we’ll look to you to build relationships and identify opportunities for our clients to benefit from our knowledge in other areas. Regular travel will be required as you will be meeting with key clients, some of those being the most respected in their fields.

• The ability and willingness to travel and work in excess of standard hours when necessary
