• Assist with market research and analysis of financial information for projects undertaken by our growing NCV service line
• Interpretation of company articles of association and other associated documents for the purpose of applying the correct rights to individual shareholdings
• Support the preparation of reports, briefing notes and business development / thought leadership pieces
• Ensure work is delivered to a high standard, and keep the relevant job lead updated, particularly around deadlines
• Liaise with clients, both internal and external to build and maintain strong relationships
• Use, maintain and develop our collection of models, created for the purpose of specific NCV work, as well as general forensic analysis
• Develop an understanding of the financial reporting, taxation and wider International Valuation Standards (IVS) frameworks which underpin our valuation conclusions
• Develop a working understanding of wider forensic service lines, including litigation, fraud, investigations and matrimonial valuation
• Joint responsibility for own professional development, alongside mandatory CPD training provided by Dains.
