Our EMEIA-wide Capital Markets Centre of Excellence provides a variety of assurance services to clients who are developing and executing transformational strategies, such as launching an initial public offering (IPO) in local markets or the USA, or implementing improvements to internal controls. We provide regulatory and reporting advice across all jurisdictions in international capital markets.

This is a high-profile role working with some of the world's largest companies and offers an exciting opportunity to gain exposure to the dynamic world of international capital markets. The team has seen year on year double digit revenue growth and significant headcount increases to stake a claim as number one in its market.
