A true advisor role working with one of the UK's largest consultancy and insolvency practices advising on an impressive range of mid-market companies.

Business restructuring frequently involves assisting businesses requiring an element of turnaround through varying degrees of financial stress. As an assistant manager you will work with major lenders and funders reviewing the performance and viability of their customers, undertaking Independent Business Reviews (IBR's) and recommending solutions. You will also directly advise companies on performance improvement, financial management and business turnaround and handle formal insolvency assignments such as trading administrations. You will need to be a fully qualified accountant, ACA, ACCA, or CA (ICAEW, ICAS or ACCA) with up-to-date professional practice experience - though this does not have to be from business restructuring as those within audit, tax, corporate finance, transaction services or other disciplines are encouraged to apply.

Few roles within professional services offer such a variety and mix of experiences covering financial investigation and reporting, company disposals and fund raising, turnaround and restructuring and even formal insolvency.

Exceptional communication skills, a business brain and the ability to remain calm under pressure are all prerequisites of the role.

If you have the ability and desire, the opportunity for progression is exceptional but in addition the skills developed open up future paths into other areas of finance.
