Descrizione del lavoro

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.

Where the evidence is actually assembled. You will do the analysis that findings rest on, with close support from senior colleagues.

Your Responsibilities

• Carry out forensic analyses under the direction of senior colleagues.
• Reconcile and reconstruct accounting records; test transactions, journal entries and reconciliations for indicators of manipulation.
• Prepare, cleanse and analyse structured data from accounting and ERP systems, and unstructured data such as e-mail and chat.
• Conduct document review in eDiscovery platforms such as Relativity, and quality-check coding decisions.
• Research corporate registries, public filings, court records and open sources.
• Prepare working papers to an evidentiary standard - clear, complete, and capable of withstanding challenge.
• Draft sections of deliverables and prepare exhibits, tables and charts.

Your Profile

• Two to four years of relevant experience in audit, forensic services, internal audit, compliance, transaction services or data analytics.
• A university degree in business administration, accounting, economics, finance, law, information systems, data science or a comparable subject.
• Confident Excel skills and genuine interest in working with data. Exposure to SQL, Python, Alteryx or Relativity is an advantage but can also be learned here.
• Precision and stamina. Investigations involve long stretches of detailed work where a small inconsistency can turn out to matter a great deal.
• Discretion in handling confidential information.
• Fluent German and English.
• Willingness to travel within Germany and, on occasion, internationally.

What We Offer

• Genuine investigative work from the start, rather than years of preparation for it.
• A small team in build-up phase, which means visibility and responsibility sooner than in a large established practice.
• Structured training, mentoring and funding for professional qualifications such as CFE, CPA, ACCA or other relevant qualifications.
• Competitive salary with performance-related bonus.
• Hybrid working and 28 days of annual leave.
