Job Description

Financial Accountant, Legal (£75-85k)

Your new company
You’ll be joining a well‑established law firm with an excellent reputation in its sector. The firm is experiencing steady growth and is investing heavily in its finance function, offering the opportunity to work in a collaborative, forward‑thinking environment. You’ll be part of a supportive team that values technical expertise, innovation and continuous improvement.
Your new role
As Financial Accountant, you will take ownership of statutory reporting across several group entities, ensuring accuracy, compliance and timely delivery. You will work closely with senior leadership, external advisors and operational teams, playing a key role in managing tax, audit and VAT activities while contributing to ongoing process enhancement. You will be responsible for:

  • Preparing statutory accounts for multiple UK and international entities
  • Producing tax computations
  • Managing group VAT submissions
  • Liaising with external advisors and representing the firm at relevant professional forums
  • Identifying opportunities to enhance systems, controls and processes

You’ll be a qualified ACCA or ACA accountant. You’ll bring strong knowledge of UK GAAP, statutory reporting requirements and emerging standards such as IFRS 15 and IFRS 16. Experience of SRA client account rules would be beneficial. You will either have experience working in the legal/professional service sector or working on those clients whilst in practice.
What you'll get in return
You’ll receive a competitive salary of £75,000–£85,000, alongside the opportunity to influence a high‑performing finance function during a period of positive change. The organisation offers a supportive culture, ongoing professional development, exposure to senior decision‑makers and the chance to work on meaningful, impactful projects.
