Assistant Director - Members' Voluntary Liquidations

VANRATH is delighted to be partnering with a leading professional services firm to recruit an Assistant Director to establish and grow its Members' Voluntary Liquidations (MVL) offering in Belfast. This is a particularly exciting opportunity for a qualified accountant, auditor, professional consultant or solicitor who combines strong technical and organisational ability with the commercial mindset to help develop a growing service line.

The Role As Assistant Director, you will take responsibility for the delivery of MVL assignments while playing a key role in developing and expanding the offering. The team has access to a wider UK market, creating significant potential for growth. This role therefore offers the ideal combination of technical delivery, client management and business development, with the opportunity to help shape how the service develops.

What You Will Do Manage a portfolio of Members' Voluntary Liquidation assignments from commencement through to completion. Oversee the administration and documentation associated with MVL engagements. Ensure assignments are delivered accurately, efficiently and in line with relevant legislation and professional standards. Manage client relationships throughout the liquidation process. Liaise with directors, shareholders, legal advisers, HMRC and other professional stakeholders. Manage processes, deadlines and documentation across multiple assignments.

Identify opportunities to improve processes and efficiencies within the MVL service. Contribute to the development and growth of the UK-facing MVL offering. Build relationships with referrers and prospective clients. Support the development of the team as the service continues to grow. What's in It for You

Join an established professional services firm with an ambitious growth strategy. Take a leading role in developing a growing MVL offering. Access to a wider UK market and significant potential for future growth. A structured working environment with a predominantly 09:00-17:00 working day. Strong client exposure without the intensity typically associated with distressed restructuring work. Opportunity to combine technical delivery with commercial and business development responsibility.

The chance to build something rather than simply inherit an established portfolio. Excellent long-term career progression within a leading professional services environment. Requirements Professionally qualified accountant, auditor, insolvency professional or solicitor. Experience working within a regulated professional services environment. Strong organisational and administrative skills, with exceptional attention to detail. Highly process-driven and comfortable managing multiple assignments simultaneously. Strong written and verbal communication skills.
