About this role
We Do Consulting Differently
We are establishing BRG's Forensic Investigations practice in Germany. This is a genuine build — a new team, in a new market, with the methodology, credentials and global network of an established international firm behind it, and without the constraints of a legacy structure.
The practice focuses on two connected disciplines: forensic accounting and fraud investigations, and forensic technology and eDiscovery. Our work typically arises where the facts are contested and the stakes are high — special investigations for supervisory boards and audit committees, allegations of financial misstatement, corruption and misappropriation, regulatory and criminal proceedings, and post-transaction disputes.
Our entry-level role for those with or pursuing a Masters Qualification or those with some experience in Accounting or Audit who want to change careers. No prior forensic experience is required — curiosity, precision and a head for data are what matter.
Your Responsibilities
- Support forensic analyses: preparing, cleansing and reconciling data from accounting and ERP systems.
- Review documents in eDiscovery platforms and apply the review protocol consistently.
- Research corporate registries, public filings and open sources, and summarise findings clearly.
- Prepare and maintain working papers, indices and evidence logs.
- Build exhibits, tables and charts for investigation reports.
- Assist with the logistical and organisational side of investigations — which, on a live matter, is a substantial contribution in its own right.
Your Profile
- A completed or nearly completed degree in business administration, accounting, economics, finance, law, information systems, data science or a comparable subject.
- Internships or working student roles in audit, forensics, compliance, law or data analytics are welcome but not a prerequisite.
- An Interest in any of the following: Forensic Accounting, Digital Forensics, Artificial Intelligence or Forensic Data Review.
- Confident Excel skills. Any exposure to SQL, Python or R is a bonus.
- Meticulousness. In this work, the detail that seems irrelevant is often the one that matters.
- A discreet and professional manner — you will handle sensitive information from your first week.
- Fluent German and English, both written and spoken.
Extra Requirements for a Senior Associate:
- Some experience gained in an Accounting or Audit role would be helpful in this role.
What We Offer
- A structured onboarding programme and a mentor from your first day.
- Early exposure to real investigations rather than back-office support work.
- Funding and study leave for professional qualifications — CFE, ACCA, CPA or the Wirtschaftsprüferexamen.
- A clearly defined path to Consultant with transparent criteria.
- Competitive starting salary, hybrid working and 28 days of annual leave.
