A specialist professional services business is looking to hire a Finance Associate to support a portfolio of law firm clients.
This is a varied, hands on role for someone with previous legal finance experience who enjoys client contact, accuracy and working across the full finance cycle.
You will work with two to four clients, supported by experienced finance leadership, helping to keep their day to day finance operations running smoothly.
The work will cover client account receipts and payments, billing and WIP reporting, bank payments and transfers, monthly payroll information for outsourced providers, purchase and bill ledgers, credit control support and control account reconciliations.
There is a strong compliance element too. You will review client account transactions, help ensure activity is in line with firm policies, the Solicitors Accounts Rules and VAT regulations, complete VAT returns and support month end close processes.
As new clients onboard, you may also help set up accounting systems, processes and ways of working, giving the role a useful project and improvement element.
This is a good opportunity for someone who likes variety and wants exposure to different law firm finance environments rather than one internal finance team.
It will suit someone diligent, reliable and confident handling queries in a busy, multi client setting.
What they’re looking for:
We are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds, experiences and characteristics.
If you require any adjustments or additional support at any stage of the recruitment process, please let us know.
