At Crowe, consultants are expected to build both technical and transferable skills, think critically, and use technology to solve real business problems. In this role, you will continuously learn, collaborate across teams, and explore how tools, including emerging AI capabilities, can improve efficiency, insights, and client outcomes.

As you grow, you’ll also begin to take ownership of client relationships, contribute to account strategy, and support the delivery of high-impact work. Developing a sense of account leadership, including understanding client needs, ensuring delivery excellence, and building trusted partnerships, is part of what sets successful consultants apart.

Success in this role comes from a growth mindset, strong communication skills, advanced critical thinking, and the ability to navigate new challenges with confidence.

Responsibilities:

  • Analyze business processes to identify risks, control gaps, process inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.

  • Support finance and compliance projects, including financial analysis, reconciliations, compliance testing, and internal audit support.

  • Support model and credit risk engagements by helping assess model governance, model inputs, data, documentation, testing results, and risk management practices.

  • Support regulatory compliance and financial crime engagements focused on areas such as BSA/AML, sanctions, fraud, consumer protection, fair lending, and broader compliance program effectiveness.

  • Use data, analytics, and visualization tools to identify trends, anomalies, exceptions, and emerging risks.

  • Participate in client meetings, walkthroughs, interviews, status updates, and presentations.

  • Prepare high-quality reports, presentations, and deliverables that communicate observations, risks, recommendations, and practical next steps.

  • Collaborate with teammates across Risk Consulting to deliver high-quality client service in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

Expectations:

  • Strong problem-solving, analytical, and critical thinking skills to develop effective, technology-enabled solutions to address client challenges, including thoughtfully evaluating outputs from new tools and technologies.

  • Curiosity and adaptability by learning new tools and technologies, including AI-enabled capabilities, and applying them to help solve problems.

  • Interest in business, risk management, internal controls, compliance, finance, accounting, data analytics, regulatory requirements, and financial services.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare clear, client-ready deliverables.

  • Ability to take initiative to work both independently and collaboratively in team-based environments.

  • Intellectual curiosity and a desire to continuously learn new industries, regulations, tools, frameworks, systems, and consulting approaches.

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing accurate, high-quality work.

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced client service environment.

  • Professional confidence when interacting with clients, colleagues, senior leaders, and other stakeholders.

  • Self-motivation, ownership, adaptability, and a willingness to grow through feedback and continuous learning.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset and interest in bringing new ideas to client service and practice improvement.

  • Ability to build an understanding of how your work contributes to client outcomes and overall business value.

  • Willingness to travel based on client and project needs. Travel expectations may vary by team, client, and engagement type.
