Joining our Financial Reporting & Valuations (FRAV) team gives you the opportunity to work beyond the basics. You’ll tackle intellectually rewarding work, advise on high-impact financial issues, and collaborate directly with clients and senior stakeholders on important projects.
This role offers a rare mix of technical depth and commercial insight. From listed companies to fast-growing private businesses, you'll help solve complex accounting challenges, support key strategic decisions, and build a niche skill set early in your career.
The Role
There will be lots to get involved with in this role, but examples of what you’ll be working on are:
- Supporting the preparation of group financial statements, including those for listed companies – balancing technical rigour with practical project management.
- Advising on complex accounting matters, including share-based payments and financial instruments.
- Writing technical accounting papers and delivering audit support projects
- Contributing to IFRS conversion projects and supporting IPO readiness work
- Assisting with valuation work, such as share option valuations and purchase price allocations – from research and modelling through to drafting reports
- Supporting the team and wider firm with the implementation of the FRS 102 triennial review.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
To thrive in this role, you’ll need:
- A well-established grounding in audit or accounts preparation.
- A natural curiosity for accounting and business – you enjoy solving problems and want to understand why something works, not just how.
- Clear communication skills, to explain complex matters in a way clients understand.
- A team player mentality, happy to roll up your sleeves to support colleagues when needed.
Whilst not essential, it would be great if you have:
- Some experience of project-based work
- Familiarity with valuations or financial modelling
- An interest in listed company environments or strategic advisory projects
