• Up to £72,000 + Car Allowance + Bonus + Benefits (DOE)
• Permanent Consulting Financial Services

One of the world's leading professional services firms is expanding its Risk Advisory practice across Scotland and is looking for a strong Manager to join their Financial Services team.

If you're a qualified accountant or FS risk specialist with experience in Asset & Wealth Management or Insurance-or you've audited these sectors within a Big 4 environment-this is a strategic move that will genuinely accelerate your career.

This is full on client facing consulting. No BAU. No repetitive cycles. Just high impact projects across risk, controls, regulation, and transformation, where your technical background becomes your edge.

The Opportunity

This team works at the sharp end of the FS sector-helping major insurers, asset managers, and wealth firms navigate regulatory change, strengthen controls, and manage risk. You'll gain broader exposure, faster progression, and bigger client impact than any industry role can offer.

Ideal for someone who wants to:

• Move from Audit/Finance/Internal Controls into advisory
• Step out of siloed work and into varied client projects
• Operate with more autonomy and visibility
• Build a consulting career within a global brand

What You'll Be Doing

You'll lead and deliver projects across:

• Risk & Controls - ICFR/SOx, financial reporting controls, governance frameworks
• Internal Audit - planning, delivery, reporting
• Regulatory Advisory - Consumer Duty, prudential, conduct, regulatory change
• Operational & Risk Transformation - target operating models, process enhancement
• Broader assurance and risk engagements across FS clients
• You'll also manage stakeholders, mentor junior team members, and shape solutions for clients.

Who They're Looking For

Essential:

• Accountant, Internal Auditor/Controls, Finance Change or Risk professional
• Experience in Risk, Internal Controls, Internal Audit, Finance, or FS Audit
• Sector exposure to Asset & Wealth Management and/or Insurance
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
