You will work in teams with experienced due diligence professionals, where you will learn and develop skills needed to perform due diligence across various situations and sectors.

You'll work effectively as a team member by demonstrating commitment to quality, sharing responsibilities, supporting colleagues, maintaining communication, and updating senior team members on progress.

Skills and attributes for success

Strong analytical skills are essential, as you'll research technical accounting issues, evaluate implications on transaction valuation and structuring, and prepare analyses of financial information to assess trends and fluctuations. Good communication skills are also crucial for preparing reports and schedules for clients and maintaining productive client relationships.

To qualify for the role you must have

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting or a related field.
• Minimum of 3 years of accounting experience, preferably with prior due diligence exposure.
• Knowledge of IFRS.
• Ability to analyze financial and non-financial information to form opinions and conclusions.
• Strong analytical, presentation, and report-writing skills.
• Excellent command of spoken and written English.

Ideally, you'll also have

• Transactions/auditing experience.
• Client-facing experience from a professional services background.
• Proficiency in Arabic.
