If required, our hybrid working practice is designed to help you achieve the right balance between working in the office and working from home, whilst ensuring that our clients’ and firms’ needs are met.

    The Role

    This role is working in the revenue section of our finance team, reporting into the Assistant Manager – Working Capital,  supporting the legal teams with their revenue work and ensuring that clients invoices are processed accurately and in a timely manner.

    Key responsibilities to include:

    • Processing invoices in accordance with the terms agreed with client’s and the firm’s internal processes as instructed by the legal teams.
    • Ensuring bills are produced in accordance with VAT regulations and that time and disbursements are correctly charged in accordance with lawyer’s instructions, including compliance with the firm’s write off policies.

    Are you the right person?

    Our ideal candidate will have experience of billing within a law firm, using Aderant/3E or other legal finance software and paperless billing. Whilst this is not essential as training will be provided, you will need to have a minimum of one years finance experience gained within a professional services environment to be considered for this role.

    You will need to be able to demonstrate strong numeracy skills and have good attention to detail. You should be flexible, adaptable and enjoy working within a team in order to achieve a positive result. You must be self-motivated, enthusiastic and hardworking with good interpersonal skills, but also have the ability to work on your own and show initiative when required.

    This position will suit someone with excellent organisational skills who is able to structure and prioritise their workload effectively to meet deadlines and be proactive in resolving queries. This is a great opportunity to join a friendly but hard-working team with a proactive approach to their daily work.
