Head of Finance

The most senior finance role outside the US for a top 10 global law firm. Lex Talent has been exclusively retained to recruit a senior finance leader for one of the world's leading law firms. This is a London-based role. London, with circa 500 employees, will be your main focus. You'll lead the finance operation for the firm's largest international office, while also holding a broader remit across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. You'll work closely with London leadership and senior partners, while also partnering with the firm's global finance leadership in the US. The remit is broad. You'll oversee everything from client accounting, billing, WIP and collections through to budgeting, financial reporting, treasury, tax, compliance and the continued improvement of the finance function. But this isn't simply about running the numbers. You'll lead and develop finance teams, advise senior partners, influence financial decision-making and take real ownership of how the finance function operates across the international offices. You don't necessarily need to be doing exactly this role today. You may currently be a Finance Director, Head of Finance, Financial Controller or senior finance leader who is ready to take on a much broader international remit. What matters is that you understand law firm finance, can lead people and are ready to take on a genuinely significant role. The search is being handled exclusively by Mark Neal at Lex Talent, and all conversations will be completely confidential. If this could be the right next step for you, please get in touch (markneal@lextalent.co.uk) or apply now.
