- Coach colleagues on live engagements and deliver technical training to the team in your areas of strength

- Keep engagements to time and to budget, and flag any change in scope at the point at which it arises
What We Are Looking For
- Qualified accountant — CA (ICAI), CA (SA), ACA, ACCA or equivalent OR MBA in Finance or equivalent
- Minimum 7 to 10 years post-qualification, of which at least 5 in transaction services or financial due diligence
- Has run FDD workstreams independently and reviewed the work of others
- Experience of supervising and developing junior colleagues, including delivering difficult feedback
- Strong grasp of quality of earnings, net debt and working capital, and of why each matters to the buyer
- Advanced Excel skills and confidence in handling large and poorly structured datasets

How We Will Assess You
A screening call, a technical interview, a case study, and a conversation with the Transaction Services lead you will be working with. We will tell you where you stand after each stage.
Our Values:
Embrace different: - From cultures to mindsets, we welcome them all. Our global presence means we're inclusive by nature and we believe that people are equal, but not the same.
Do the right thing: - Our comfort zone is uncomfortable; we always make the right decision not what is simply easy or popular. Always consider how to implement these decisions, people will always remember how you made them feel.
All hands on deck: - We stand shoulder to shoulder with colleagues and clients, be that physically or from afar. Our individual expertise may find them answers, but it is through teamwork that it is implemented.
Passion drives success: - The impossible is always possible, we push the boundaries of what is expected because we're never satisfied with the status quo. Our clients expect a positive result when they engage with us, and it's only by delivering this that we win.
