Contractors may work with law firms, government agencies, or private companies to investigate financial discrepancies, assist in litigation, or provide expert testimony.

Familiarity with forensic accounting software, data analysis tools, and spreadsheet applications is crucial for efficiently examining complex financial records. Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication skills set top performers apart in this field. These competencies are essential for uncovering financial discrepancies, preparing clear reports, and providing expert testimony in legal settings.

They often collaborate with law firms, government agencies, or corporate clients and may be asked to assist in legal proceedings by providing expert testimony or supporting documentation. Contract roles usually require handling multiple cases simultaneously and adapting quickly to varying client needs. This position is ideal for professionals who enjoy project-based work, autonomy, and the opportunity to engage in diverse investigative challenges.

Job description

Description
Looking for Your Next Opportunity in Construction Forensic Accounting, Claims, or Dispute Advisory?
At DLA, our FVLS team supports clients in high-stakes situations, providing forensic accounting, fraud investigations, damages analyses, valuations, and litigation support services. You'll work on complex matters that shape outcomes, all within a people-first, growth-oriented environment. If you're passionate about forensic accounting and financial dispute resolution, you'll find meaningful work here with a team that values People First, is Driven to Deliver, Evolves with Purpose, and is Stronger Together.
We're currently looking for a Managing Director or Partner - Construction Forensic Accounting & Expert Services to join our Forensics, Valuation & Litigation Support (FVLS) team. If you're ready to take on high-profile disputes and expert testimony work-and grow your career in a firm that values both excellence and balance-we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Do
As a senior leader, you will expand DLA's capabilities in construction-related forensic accounting and litigation support. Your day-to-day may include:
  • Leading forensic accounting investigations involving embezzlement, misappropriation of funds, double billing, improper cost allocations, and non-compliance with construction contracts
  • Analyzing construction financial records, cost reports, change orders, pay applications, and supporting documentation to identify irregularities and quantify damages
  • Providing expert testimony in depositions, mediations, arbitrations, and trials
  • Preparing expert reports, rebuttals, financial analyses, and demonstratives that withstand cross-examination
  • Advising attorneys, owners, contractors, and insurers on complex financial and contract-related issues
  • Developing and executing strategic growth plans for the FVLS practice
  • Building new client relationships and deepening existing ones to generate business opportunities
  • Mentoring and developing junior professionals and contributing to overall practice development

What You'll Bring
We know great team members come from a variety of backgrounds. Some things we typically look for:
  • A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (CPA required for Partner consideration; advanced credentials such as CFF or CFE are a plus)
  • 12+ years of experience in forensic accounting, construction disputes, financial investigations, or litigation support
  • A proven track record as an expert witness in construction-related financial disputes
  • Deep familiarity with construction cost structures, contract compliance, pay application processes, and common fraud schemes
  • Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex financial issues
  • A collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset with an interest in practice growth
  • Willingness to travel as needed for client matters

Why Join DLA?
We're not your typical firm. DLA combines the expertise of a national advisory practice with the flexibility and entrepreneurial spirit of a startup. You'll work closely with leadership, have a direct impact on the firm's growth, and experience a culture rooted in trust and flexibility.
Here's what sets us apart:
  • Emphasis on work-life balance compared to traditional audit or advisory firms
  • Flexible PTO (plus your birthday as a holiday)
  • Direct client exposure from day one
  • Clear career path to leadership & Partner
  • Hybrid work model with flexibility built in
  • 401(k) match, referral programs, and comprehensive benefits

Come Be a Part of Our Success Story
At DLA, we're committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace. We hire great people from all backgrounds-because it makes our company stronger. If you share our values and our enthusiasm for forensic consulting and dispute resolution, you'll find a home here.
We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and are committed to providing reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities throughout the application process.
