Are you an experienced forensic accountant, who wants to explore the world? Looking for a role where you can really 'give back' and help some of the most disadvantaged communities in the world? Our client is a global accounting firm, whose charity and not-for-profit team helps third-sector organisations across the globe with their audit and tax needs.

They work hard 9-5 but are rarely in the office late into the evening or at weekends. If you have experience at a large accounting or consulting firm in forensics, in-house at a regulator or international company, or some combination of the two, we'd love to hear from you! Given the international nature of the role, we're also happy to talk to candidates from outside the UK who are looking to relocate.
