Job Description

The Opportunity

Our client is a distinguished and highly discrete strategic private office founded by a legendary pioneer of the APAC corporate recovery and restructuring market . Operating under a philosophy akin to the elite traditional merchant banks of 20 to 30 years ago, this firm completely eschews rigid institutional playbooks and corporate bureaucracy. Instead, they focus on delivering bespoke financial engineering, tactical advisory, and sophisticated problem solving for an exclusive international roster of corporate clients, high-net worth families, and sovereign entities.

They are looking for a motivated, highly analytical Analyst to join their nimble, creative team. If you are currently sitting within a rigid, siloed corporate advisory or accounting structure and want to transition into a true "generalist" high-finance environment, this role offers direct mentorship under industry titans and unprecedented exposure to complex, high-stakes matters.

The Role

In this dynamic position, you will provide critical analytical and strategic support across an incredibly diverse portfolio of high stakes engagements . This is a rapid growth opportunity where you will be expected to quickly assimilate dense financial data, draw commercially sharp conclusions, and write highly polished findings under tight timeframes.

Working directly alongside senior advisors and the founding partner, your daily remit will span:

• Restructuring & Insolvency: Supporting all active phases of complex corporate turnaround, recovery initiatives, and insolvency mandates.
• Forensic Investigations: Assisting with deep-dive forensic and financial investigations, including gathering, dissecting, and organising complex financial evidence.
• Financial Analysis & Valuation: Performing comprehensive financial statement analysis, interpreting intricate datasets, and supporting valuation exercises.
• Litigation Funding & Advisory: Delivering critical data, strategic problem-solving, and actionable insights to support sophisticated litigation and dispute resolution.
• Market Intelligence: Conducting rigorous research into industry trends, regulatory shifts, and broader economic factors impacting client files.
• Executive Reporting: Preparing high-quality reports, board presentations, and formal correspondence with exceptional clarity, conciseness, and precision.

Your Profile

This role is perfectly suited to a sharp, self-starting professional with approximately 2 to 5 years of professional experience within a Big 4 or top tier boutique firm spanning corporate recovery, restructuring, insolvency, forensic accounting, or transaction advisory services.

To be successful, you will possess:

• A Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or a related discipline. Professional progression towards a CA, CPA, or CFA is highly regarded.
• A bulletproof foundational knowledge of accounting principles and a proven ability to perform meticulous financial statement analysis.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a demonstrable knack for turning dense financial data into crystal clear executive commentary.
• An agile mindset with the capacity to thrive in an environment characterised by high urgency, complexity, and ambiguity.
• The ability to work independently and take immediate initiative while remaining a highly collaborative team player.
• Absolute discretion, common sense, and high emotional intelligence when handling sensitive client files.
