Jobbeschreibung

## Associate — Forensic InvestigationsApply: Dusseldorf, GER: Full time: Posted Yesterday: JR101073## **We Do Consulting Differently** We are establishing BRG's Forensic Investigations practice in Germany. This is a genuine build — a new team, in a new market, with the methodology, credentials and global network of an established international firm behind it, and without the constraints of a legacy structure. The practice focuses on two connected disciplines: forensic accounting and fraud investigations, and forensic technology and eDiscovery. Our work typically arises where the facts are contested and the stakes are high — special investigations for supervisory boards and audit committees, allegations of financial misstatement, corruption and misappropriation, regulatory and criminal proceedings, and post-transaction disputes. Our entry-level role for graduates and career starters. No prior forensic experience is required — curiosity, precision and a head for data are what matter. **Your Responsibilities*** Support forensic analyses: preparing, cleansing and reconciling data from accounting and ERP systems.* Review documents in eDiscovery platforms and apply the review protocol consistently.* Research corporate registries, public filings and open sources, and summarise findings clearly.* Prepare and maintain working papers, indices and evidence logs.* Build exhibits, tables and charts for investigation reports.* Assist with the logistical and organisational side of investigations — which, on a live matter, is a substantial contribution in its own right. **Your Profile*** A completed or nearly completed degree in business administration, accounting, economics, finance, law, information systems, data science or a comparable subject.* Internships or working student roles in audit, forensics, compliance, law or data analytics are welcome but not a prerequisite.* An Interest in any of the following: Forensic Accounting, Digital Forensics, Artificial Intelligence or Forensic Data Review.* Confident Excel skills. Any exposure to SQL, Python or R is a bonus.* Meticulousness. In this work, the detail that seems irrelevant is often the one that matters.* A discreet and professional manner — you will handle sensitive information from your first week.* Fluent German and English, both written and spoken. **What We Offer*** A structured onboarding programme and a mentor from your first day.* Early exposure to real investigations rather than back-office support work.* Funding and study leave for professional qualifications — CFE, ACCA, CPA or the Wirtschaftsprüferexamen.* A clearly defined path to Consultant with transparent criteria.* Competitive starting salary, hybrid working and 28 days of annual leave. **How to Apply**Please send your CV, together with a brief note on your motivation and your earliest possible start date. Certificates and references are welcome but not required at first contact. We review applications on a rolling basis and aim to respond within ten working days. All enquiries are treated in strict confidence — we are aware that candidates in this field often apply while in a sensitive current role. **About BRG**BRG combines world-leading academic credentials with world-tested business expertise and purpose-built emerging technologies.
