Our multi-disciplined Forensic team is the largest group of independent forensic specialists in Australia and have worked on some of the highest profile matters across Australia and Asia-Pacific.

Our Forensic services include dispute analysis (including preparation of expert evidence reports), data analytics, investigations, fraud and risk assessments and forensic technology.

This diversity offers employees the opportunity to work across various service areas and geographic locations.
 

As a result of recent staff movements, we are looking for an Associate Director to join our Forensic team based in Perth in Western Australia.

Your role will be to work on engagements which include commercial disputes, valuations of businesses for statutory, taxation and other purposes and other consulting assignments. These engagements may involve valuations of businesses and equity, valuation of losses in commercial disputes, review of applicability of Accounting and Auditing Standards in commercial disputes, analysis of financial information, preparation and/or review of financial models and/or review and analysis of large data sets from various data sources including financial and operational systems.

A suitable candidate for this position will have the following skills and background:

• Undergraduate degree in Accounting or Finance.
• Completion of the Chartered Accounting qualification or equivalent (including Grad Dip App Fin or CFA).
• Up to eight years’ experience in the provision of dispute analysis, corporate advisory, transactions or assurance services. Experience in evaluating companies in the mining and resources industry generally would be highly regarded but not essential.
• Experience in financial modelling and report writing.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Previous experience in a Big 4 environment and business valuation experience would also be highly regarded, particularly in the resources and services sectors.

You should be willing to contribute to the business development activities of the practice and, in time, to develop your own fields of specialisation and support base of professional contacts. You thrive on a challenge and display excellent communication and negotiation skills and are motivated by delivering the highest standards of client service.

In return, we offer a dynamic, team oriented, flexible work environment, ongoing learning opportunities through the KordaMentha Business School, competitive remuneration packages, and the opportunity to work with, and learn from, the best in the business.
