We Do Consulting Differently

We are establishing BRG's Forensic Investigations practice in Germany. This is a genuine build — a new team, in a new market, with the methodology, credentials and global network of an established international firm behind it, and without the constraints of a legacy structure.

The practice focuses on two connected disciplines: forensic accounting and fraud investigations, and forensic technology and eDiscovery. Our work typically arises where the facts are contested and the stakes are high — special investigations for supervisory boards and audit committees, allegations of financial misstatement, corruption and misappropriation, regulatory and criminal proceedings, and post-transaction disputes.

The engagement management layer of the practice. You run the work: the plan, the team, the quality and the client relationship on a day-to-day basis.

Your Responsibilities

• Manage investigations day-to-day — work planning, team allocation, budget tracking, quality control and client communication.

• Lead teams of three to six professionals across concurrent workstreams, often under considerable time pressure.

• Design and oversee the substantive forensic analysis: transaction and journal entry testing, reconstruction of accounting records, funds tracing, third-party payment review, and analysis of large document populations.

• Conduct and document interviews with witnesses and subjects, typically alongside external counsel.

• Direct forensic technology workstreams: data preservation and processing, structured data analytics, search term design and eDiscovery review protocols.

• Draft investigation reports and sections of expert reports to a standard that will withstand challenge.

• Contribute to business development — proposals, pitches, client presentations and thought leadership.

• Coach, review and appraise junior colleagues, and take a role in recruiting as the team grows.

Your Profile

• Seven or more years of relevant experience in forensic accounting, investigations, internal audit, transaction services or forensic technology.

• Proven experience managing engagements and teams independently — you can be given a mandate and trusted to run it.

• A professional qualification (Wirtschaftsprüfer, Steuerberater, CPA, ACA, ACCA, CFE, CIA) or an equivalent technical track record in forensic data analytics.

• Strong command of accounting and financial reporting under HGB and IFRS, or deep expertise in forensic data platforms — ideally both.

• Fluent German and English, including report writing in both languages.

• Composure, discretion and a methodical approach to evidence.

• Willingness to travel within Germany and internationally.

What We Offer

• Early membership of a practice that is being built — your fingerprints will be on how it works.

• A clear development path towards Director, with the mandate and support to get there.

• Cross-border work through BRG's international network.

• Competitive base salary, performance-related bonus and comprehensive benefits.

• Hybrid working, 30 days of annual leave, and funding for professional qualifications and training.
