Job description

Senior Analyst to Senior Manager · Brisbane CBD · Permanent, full-time

Genius People is recruiting for an established forensic accounting team in Brisbane. The team works with lawyers and businesses on complex commercial disputes involving economic loss, damages and business value.

You’ll work alongside experienced forensic accountants and valuation specialists, taking financial evidence from the initial review through to the modelling and written analysis that support an independent expert’s opinion. At Manager or Senior Manager level, you’ll also lead engagements, review the team’s work and work directly with partners and legal counsel.

What you’ll do

• Analyse financial statements, transaction records and commercial data to assess the financial impact of a dispute.
• Build or review financial models to quantify lost profits, economic loss and damages.
• Value businesses, shareholdings and intangible assets where value is disputed.
• Prepare or review independent expert reports and the calculations and schedules that support them.
• Assess opposing experts’ analysis and explain which assumptions drive differences in their conclusions.

What you’ll bring

You’ll have experience in forensic accounting, commercial disputes, litigation support or business valuations. We’re particularly interested in people who can talk through a dispute where they personally built a loss model, assessed a valuation or contributed to an expert report.

You’ll be comfortable testing assumptions, working through detailed financial records and explaining your findings clearly in writing. A relevant degree is expected. CA, CFA or an equivalent qualification is well regarded, particularly for Manager and Senior Manager appointments.

We’re open to candidates across levels. Sponsorship can be considered for suitable candidates.
