We deliver world-leading performance improvement and advisory consulting – for restructuring, transformation, and healthy company situations. This allows organisations to transform operations, catapult growth and accelerate results through decisive action.

The regulatory changes impacting audit practices in the U.K. and Europe are having a significant impact on the Restructuring practices of the Big 4 accounting firms.

Our Restructuring practice is winning and delivering work at a rapid pace and as a result we are recruiting talented individuals to join this expanding team at Manager level.
