• Work closely with Credit Control to progress aged debt, support client negotiations, and drive improved cash collection in line with payment terms.

• Build strong relationships with Partners and clients to promote good financial hygiene, resolve issues proactively, and support effective matter management.

• Identify and escalate issues where required, while contributing to process improvements and the effective use of financial tools and reporting.

• Proven experience within a professional services environment, with a strong focus on managing the working capital cycle.

• Solid understanding of billing processes within a law firm or similar professional services setting.

• Familiarity with the Solicitors Accounts Rules and their practical application.

• Experience gained within a legal practice, ideally within a top-tier or leading firm.

• Strong attention to detail, with the ability to manage financial data accurately and support effective decision-making.
