You will work on complex and sensitive mandates involving fraud, corruption, misconduct, regulatory non-compliance, and related legal proceedings across a wide range of industries and geographies. The role combines investigative rigor with analytical expertise, offering exposure to both reactive investigations (e.g. whistleblower cases, regulatory inquiries) and proactive risk assessments. 

Key Responsibilities: 

•  Lead and support corporate investigations into fraud, bribery, corruption, embezzlement, accounting irregularities, and internal control failures. 

• Conduct forensic accounting analyses, including detailed transaction reviews, reconciliation work, and financial statement assessments. 

• Identify and trace misappropriated assets, suspicious transactions, or conflicts of interest using financial data, public records, and digital evidence. 

• Perform interviews, background research, and fact-finding procedures to gather evidence in support of investigations. 

• Collaborate with legal counsel, compliance teams, internal audit, and regulatory authorities during investigations and remediation efforts. 

• Contribute to litigation and arbitration matters, including damages quantification, business valuation, and expert report preparation. 

• Draft investigation reports and expert submissions for clients, regulators, or legal proceedings in a clear, concise, and defensible manner. 

• Supervise junior staff, ensuring high-quality deliverables and professional development. 

• Participate in business development activities, client relationship management, and the preparation of proposals and pitches.  

Required Qualifications and Experience: 

• 5–8 years of experience in forensic accounting, internal investigations, financial crime, or compliance, ideally within a Big Four, advisory firm, regulatory body, or law enforcement agency. 

• Demonstrated experience conducting or supporting investigations involving fraud, bribery, corruption, or financial misconduct. 

• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as Sapin II, FCPA, UK Bribery Act, or related compliance regimes. 

• Exposure to litigation or arbitration support, including the preparation of expert reports and financial models, is a plus. 

• Strong academic background in accounting, finance, economics, or law. Professional certifications such as CFE, CPA, ACCA, or equivalent are strongly preferred. 

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in French and English. 

• High integrity, discretion, and the ability to manage sensitive and confidential matters. 

• Strong analytical mindset and attention to detail; able to synthesize large volumes of information into actionable insights. 

• Comfortable working in high-pressure environments with shifting priorities and tight deadlines. 

What We Offer: 

• A dynamic and entrepreneurial environment within a globally recognized firm

• Exposure to a wide variety of cases across sectors and jurisdictions.

• A flat, non-hierarchical structure that promotes autonomy, responsibility, and innovation
