One of the world’s leading professional services firms is expanding its Risk Advisory practice across Scotland and is looking for a strong Manager to join their Financial Services team.

If you’re a qualified accountant or FS risk specialist with experience in Asset & Wealth Management or Insurance—or you’ve audited these sectors within a Big 4 environment—this is a strategic move that will genuinely accelerate your career.

This is full-on client-facing consulting. No BAU. No repetitive cycles. Just high-impact projects across risk, controls, regulation, and transformation, where your technical background becomes your edge.

• Risk & Controls – ICFR/SOx, financial reporting controls, governance frameworks
• Internal Audit – planning, delivery, reporting
• Regulatory Advisory – Consumer Duty, prudential, conduct, regulatory change
• Operational & Risk Transformation – target operating models, process enhancement
• Broader assurance and risk engagements across FS clients
• You’ll also manage stakeholders, mentor junior team members, and shape solutions for clients.

• Fully qualified accountant (CA/ACCA/ACA or equivalent), Internal Auditor or Risk professionaal
• Experience in Risk, Internal Controls, Internal Audit, Finance, or FS Audit
