Role Summary:

We are seeking a Manager-level Forensic Accountant with approximately 5-7 years of litigation support, forensic accounting, economic damages, and/or insurance claims experience to join our growing practice.

This position offers significant client interaction and exposure to attorneys, insurance carriers, corporate clients, and experienced forensic accounting professionals on matters involving financial damages, lost profits, business interruption, insurance claims, fraud investigations, and other dispute-related engagements.

Managers typically balance multiple active assignments at once and are expected to manage competing priorities, client communications, team workflow, and high-quality deliverables in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

Team Supervision & Workflow Management

• Supervise Staff, Seniors, and Interns, including reviewing work product, providing guidance, and helping develop technical and client-service skills.
• Coordinate day-to-day assignment workflow, including prioritizing tasks, managing deadlines, and monitoring progress across multiple active matters.
• Organize, summarize, and analyze large document productions while directing team members on key financial and operational areas of focus.
• Prepare and review chronologies, damages summaries, case dashboards, and internal updates for supervisors and engagement leaders.

Client Engagement & Relationship Management

• Serve as the primary point of contact with clients on many assignments, communicating regularly by email, Teams, phone, in-person meetings, and other client-facing settings.
• Participate in assignment meetings with clients, attorneys, adjusters, and internal engagement leaders to discuss status, findings, open items, and next steps.
• Help manage the relationship between the firm and the client by translating Staff and Senior findings into clear, actionable updates and deliverables.
• Support client-relationship development through responsive communication, strong follow-through, industry involvement, and a high level of professional service.

Financial Analysis & Reporting

• Develop, review, and maintain financial models used to measure losses, evaluate claims, and support written conclusions.
• Perform and review trend analyses, lost profits calculations, wage-loss analyses, business interruption analyses, and other damages-related procedures.
• Prepare clear, concise, and well-supported workpapers and written reports that can withstand client, expert, and litigation scrutiny.
• Evaluate opposing analyses, identify methodological weaknesses, and communicate financial findings effectively to both financial and non-financial audiences.
