If you’re building a career in Financial Services risk, controls, finance, or internal audit—and you want more variety, visibility, and progression—this is the ideal next step.
A leading global professional services firm is expanding its Risk Advisory practice in Scotland and is looking for commercially sharp Senior Associates with experience across Asset & Wealth Management or Insurance (or those who’ve audited these sectors within the Big 4 or large mid-tier firms).
This is a consulting role—client-facing, fast-paced, and full of development. You’ll use the technical grounding you already have, but apply it in a more strategic, project-driven setting.
Why This Role Matters

- Work with major insurers, asset managers, and wealth firms
- Develop quickly in a team that invests heavily in training and progression
- Expand their profile, stakeholder exposure, and consultancy skillset
What You’ll Be Working On
Expect diverse, meaningful engagements across areas such as:
- Risk & Controls – ICFR/SOx, financial reporting controls, operational risk, governance reviews
- Internal Audit & Assurance – planning, testing, reporting, and control enhancement
- Regulatory Advisory – Consumer Duty, conduct, prudential, regulatory change projects
- ESG & Sustainability – climate risk, sustainability reporting, ESG assurance
- Risk & Operational Transformation – process improvements, new frameworks, control uplift
You’ll support workstream delivery, help manage client relationships, and contribute to solutions that deliver real impact.
What They’re Looking For
Essential:
- Experience in Risk, Internal Controls, Internal Audit, Finance, or FS Audit
- Strong communication skills and confidence with senior stakeholders
- Ability to juggle multiple projects and deadlines
- Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving ability
- Exposure to Insurance or Asset & Wealth Management (or auditing these industries)
Nice To Have:
- Working towards or recently achieved a qualification (CA/ACCA/ACA)
- Experience with SOx / ICFR / financial reporting controls
- Knowledge of regulatory expectations within FS
- ESG, sustainability, or risk transformation exposure
What’s On Offer

- Market-leading training, coaching, and career progression
- A global brand behind you, and a team that will actively develop your consulting toolkit
