Overview

As a member of the Business Restructuring team you will work with lenders, stakeholders, creditors, investors and management teams of underperforming businesses to preserve and maximise value.

Working in Business Restructuring you can expect an exciting and varied workload. From the outset you will work on challenging assignments that can range from a detailed review of an underperforming company, selling businesses and assets, to taking control and supervising trading of a business whilst in insolvency.

You will develop a multidisciplinary and commercial skill set as you work on assignments across a range of sectors.

Our structured programme will help you to develop your career in whichever direction it takes by supporting you to study for your professional qualifications whilst working in different industry sectors and locations in the UK. You will work as a part of a team, all of whom will be highly supportive, and there are plenty of opportunities to socialise together as well. Many people choose to specialise in an industry sector, perhaps even gaining a reputation as a leading expert in their field, or alternatively choose to become a generalist looking after clients across a range of sectors.

As a trainee in Business Restructuring you will undertake a 3 year structured programme around working and studying. You will study towards the ACA qualification (from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales). You will be expected to study for and complete your accounting qualification over the 3 year period, and will be supported, developed and supervised by Senior Members within the Business Restructuring stream. Following qualification there may be further opportunity to undertake specific insolvency qualifications.
