Connect to your Industry

Portfolio Financial Services sits within our wider Portfolio Audit group. Portfolio clients span a wide range of sectors including private corporates, real estate funds, pension schemes, financial services brokers, investment managers, and securitizations. Our Isle of Man office is a dedicated team of financial services professionals with deep technical accounting, financial reporting and auditing skills, alongside a multi-disciplinary team of specialists advising on a range of topics to our clients. We work particularly closely with the Channel Islands and Gibraltar offices as an Islands Practice, with a team of 200 people and 8 partners focusing on the offshore sector. Our local portfolio of clients includes leading local banks, life insurers, corporate service providers and e-gaming companies. They are influential, exciting and at the heart of the local economy. Given some recent high profile audit wins, we are looking to expand our team by adding high performing and ambitious new individuals.

Personal independence

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
