Our Consulting team has a major role to play in driving forward the growth of the firm with over 1,700 people delivering almost £200m revenue.
At the heart of Consulting are the six solutions we offer our clients: business transformation, deal services, finance function support, risk and governance, forensic and investigation services, and restructuring. Our solutions create an enhanced tailored approach to support our clients in achieving their strategic goals and empower our people to make an impact and develop their own unique career path.

  • Providing technical support to the AFR Directors and Partners as well as technical advice to our client base and other departments as and when required.
  • Liaising with clients throughout the year and practicing the principles of excellent client service at all times.
  • Closely monitoring the practice management system reports, to ensure the profitable recoverability of work in progress, and billing on a timely basis.
  • To develop a detailed knowledge of the firm's specialist services, actively look for opportunities to cross sell, and to undertake special work in response to client needs where appropriate.
  • Participating in the recruitment process for specialist hires or graduate recruits, leading first round interviews and making recommendations to AFR Directors and Partners.
  • As a line manager, manage the AFR team's appraisal process ensuring appropriate objectives and development plans are in place for junior members of the team. You will also be required to support the overall technical training and development needs of the staff within the AFR department.
  • To perform the firm's review and completion procedures, to attend the final meeting with the client and to ensure that the client subsequently receives the final accounts, management letter and adjustment to opening balances on a timely basis.
  • To be involved in any other administrative departmental and office issues as deemed appropriate.
