Finance Assistant (AP) Part-Time

We're working with a successful international law firm seeking a Finance Assistant to join its London office on a permanent, three-day-per-week basis.

This is an opportunity to become part of a genuinely friendly and supportive team where people enjoy working together and where your contribution will be visible and valued.

Working closely with the Finance Manager, you'll take ownership of the Accounts Payable function while supporting the wider finance operation as required.

Whilst the role is primarily AP-focused, you'll also have the opportunity to gain exposure to areas such as legal billing and cashiering, making it an excellent opportunity for someone looking to broaden their legal finance experience.

The London office is small with only 11 staff including 3 Partners on site, creating a collaborative and personable working environment.

The firm places a strong emphasis on team fit and is looking for someone who enjoys working closely with colleagues and being part of a positive office culture who enjoy each other’s company.

What You'll Be Doing

• Managing the Accounts Payable process.
• Processing supplier invoices, expenses and payment runs.
• Supporting the Finance Manager with day-to-day finance activities.
• Assisting with reporting, audit preparation and ad hoc projects.
• Gaining exposure to legal billing and cashiering responsibilities.

What They're Looking For

• Previous legal AP experience.
• Good knowledge of Solicitors Accounts Rules (SAR).
• Strong attention to detail and a proactive approach.
• Someone who enjoys working as part of a close-knit team.

Working Pattern

• Permanent position.
• Three days per week.
• Ideally Tuesday and Wednesday will be worked in the office alongside the Finance Manager.
• Friday will also be a working day and can typically be worked from home.
• Wednesday is a fixed requirement, with some potential flexibility around Tuesday for the right individual.
• Standard hours are 9:30am–5:30pm, with some flexibility available.

This role is likely to appeal to someone seeking greater flexibility, returning to work, or simply looking for a long-term part-time position within a supportive and friendly law firm environment.
