Job Description
We are seeking an experienced Forensic Accountant with strong expertise in financial investigation, fraud detection, and detailed financial forecasting. The selected professional will be responsible for reviewing and analyzing financial records, identifying discrepancies or irregularities, and preparing comprehensive financial projections to support strategic, operational, or potential legal decisions. This role requires exceptional analytical ability, strict attention to detail, and the capacity to present complex financial findings in a clear, structured, and professional manner.
The scope of work includes conducting a thorough review of financial statements, bank records, ledgers, and transactional data to detect inconsistencies, potential fraud, or financial misstatements. The candidate will perform cash flow tracing, fund flow analysis, reconciliations, and variance analysis, and produce a well-documented forensic report outlining findings, risks, and recommendations. In addition, the engagement includes developing detailed three- to five-year financial projections, including revenue forecasting, expense modeling, cash flow projections, break-even analysis, and scenario or sensitivity analysis. The final deliverables should include a structured and transparent financial model (preferably in Excel), a clearly defined assumptions sheet, projected profit and loss statements, cash flow forecasts, and, if required, an executive summary suitable for investors, management, or legal advisors.
Applicants should have proven experience in forensic accounting and advanced financial modeling. Professional certifications such as CPA, CA, or CFE are preferred. Experience in fraud investigation, litigation support, audit, or corporate finance will be highly valued. Advanced Excel skills are required, and familiarity with accounting software such as QuickBooks, Xero, or ERP systems is a plus. Strong written communication skills and the ability to handle confidential information with discretion are essential.
This may be structured as a one-time project with the potential for ongoing engagement. Interested applicants should submit their proposed hourly or fixed rate, estimated timeline, relevant certifications, and examples of similar forensic accounting or financial projection work. Please also include a brief description of your approach to detecting financial irregularities and building reliable financial forecasts.
