Finance at Lawhive

We're a lean finance team working across Lawhive's UK and US group, partnering with every part of the business from product and engineering to legal operations and the exec team. Over the next 12 to 18 months we're focused on:

• Building the systems, controls and reporting for a multi-entity group on the path to audit

Role Overview

We're looking for an experienced Senior FP&A Analyst to own financial planning for a fast-scaling, multi-entity group.

This is a role for someone who has built FP&A foundations before, ideally in a startup or scale-up. You'll know what good looks like in a high-growth environment, be comfortable creating structure from ambiguity, and be ready to act as a trusted advisor on performance, trade-offs and strategy as we scale across the UK and US.
