- Assist with day-to-day liquidation matters, including:
I) realising assets

II) seeking out and adjudicating and, where applicable, paying creditor claims

III) corresponding with shareholders and calculating distributions

IV) obtaining tax clearances from HM Revenue & Customs

- Monitor case progress and meet case compliance requirements
- You will also be required to assist with company research, business development initiatives and other ad hoc tasks.
