Assistant Manager – Financial Services Risk Consulting

Job description

London | Bristol | Edinburgh | Glasgow

Most auditors spend years developing a deep understanding of risk, controls, governance and financial reporting.

Few opportunities allow you to use that experience in a broader, more commercially focused consulting environment.

This opportunity sits within a growing Financial Services Risk Consulting team that partners with insurers, asset managers, wealth managers and banks to help them strengthen controls, navigate regulatory change and deliver large-scale transformation programmes.

Whether your experience comes from auditing insurers, asset managers, wealth managers or banking clients, this role offers a natural next step into advisory whilst building upon the technical expertise you've already developed.

Typical project work

• Internal Controls and Governance Reviews
• SOX and IFCR Programmes
• Risk and Regulatory Change Projects
• Finance Transformation Initiatives
• IFRS 17 Implementation and Enhancement
• Process and Controls Optimisation
• Operational Risk and Controls Assessments
• Financial Reporting Controls Reviews
• Technology and Data-Driven Controls Transformation

What we're looking for

• ACA / CA / ACCA qualified (or equivalent)
• Currently operating at Audit Assistant Manager or equivalent level
• Experience auditing Financial Services clients including:
• Insurance
• Asset & Wealth Management
• Banking
• Understanding of risk, controls and governance frameworks
• Exposure to SOX, IFCR, controls testing or controls assurance would be highly advantageous
• IFRS 17 exposure is desirable but not essential
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Curious, analytical and interested in solving business problems

Why join?

• Step away from the traditional audit cycle
• Work on strategic advisory projects
• Broaden your technical and commercial skillset
• Gain exposure to regulatory, risk and transformation agendas
• Collaborate with specialists across risk, finance, data and technology
• Build a long-term consulting career within Financial Services

Salary up to £58,000 plus comprehensive benefits package. Hybrid working
