*Strategy: Assist in the annual budgeting process and identify opportunities for cost-saving or revenue enhancement.
Who You Are
The ideal candidate is a finance professional who thrives in a structured, professional services environment.
*Qualified/Part-Qualified: ACCA, CIMA, or ACA (qualified by experience will be considered).
*Legal Sector Expert: You must have previous experience working within a UK law firm and a rock-solid understanding of Solicitors’ Accounts Rules.
*Systems Savvy: Experience with legal practice management software (e.g., Clio, SOS, PCLaw, or Leap) is highly desirable.
*Communicator: You can translate complex financial data into plain English for non-finance Partners.
Why Join Us?
