Restructuring and Insolvency is a fascinating area of Corporate Finance and we work with some of the best-known companies at the most critical point. My colleagues at FTI are among the best in the business, creating an excellent environment for learning and development in which senior team members are heavily involved and invested. FTI is dedicated to professional development for graduates and offers a generous study-leave policy for the ACCA to become a Chartered Accountant. We then build on our ACCA studies, applying relevant elements to our everyday work and identifying further internal and external training sessions to support our individual development.
As a graduate we focus mainly on Insolvency, particularly post-appointment work. This enables us to gain a firm grounding in the implications of insolvency across a range of firms and industries, while having a direct and meaningful impact on stakeholders. With experience, we branch out into advisory work and business development as opportunities arise – there’s a wide variety of restructuring and insolvency projects, enabling us to carve our own path and identify the areas of work that interest us the most.
FTI is a market-leading, global restructuring practice with a great culture. Despite recent growth, we have retained a close-knit team – everyone is highly supportive of each other and every voice is heard. There are also plenty of opportunities to travel both for socials and work when required, as well as networking at every level. Importantly for graduates, FTI has a flat structure so we work closely with and learn from senior members of the team from the start and visualise the big picture. There’s a real sense of collaboration and shared success.
