Job Details

We currently have a rare opportunity for a Commercial Finance Director to join a thriving, elite boutique law firm on a part time basis who will be responsible for the financial management and commercial oversight for the business. If you have a background in professional management in a law firm, then why not apply?

The firm is incredibly successful and has grown at a fast yet sensible pace. They are renowned for the type of specialist work they handle, being leaders in their field and compete with magic circle firms in London. The preference is for the role to be based in Sheffield; however, it could be based in the Leeds office.

If successful you will be responsible for overseeing and supervising employees at the firm who handle; WIP, cash flow, client billing, debt collection, expenses and currency exposure.

As the director you would handle the following tasks (amongst other responsibilities):

  • Preparation of annual accounts for external examination,
  • Ensuring payments are paid on time to suppliers and taxes
  • Preparing budgets, financial reports and communicating monthly management accounts
  • Recruiting support staff, running appraisals and providing supervision and guidance
  • Supporting the senior team and the recruitment of senior employees
  • Development of staff policies regarding payroll matters
  • Overseeing the financial aspects of recruitment
  • Overseeing the running of the office by the office manager.

In addition, you will be involved in risk and compliance at the firm including; reporting to the SRA, solicitors accounts rules, handling the insurance and the on-boarding of new clients together with negotiating terms of engagement with them.

Whilst it is certainly not essential for the role, anyone with an interest in IT would be attractive to this law firm.

If you are interested in this role, or would like to find out more, please contact Rachel Birkinshaw at Sacco Mann or another member of the Private Practice team. Alternatively, if you know anyone who would be suitable for this role then please let them or us know as we offer a reward for successful referrals. For full terms please see our website.

Company

Sacco Mann are specialist Legal Recruiters recognised as regional experts with a genuine interest in, as well as knowledge of, their marketplace. We are renowned for giving clear and straightforward career advice and true quality of service.

We have thirteen experienced consultants focussing on legal recruitment, encompassing the Commercial, General Practice, Public Sector and In House positions, both permanent and locum. In addition two consultants specialise within the Patents and Trademarks sector.

We feel that much of our success has been due to the fact that we:

- try to accurately guage and understand what both candidates and clients require and indeed that which they are able to offer and then bring the two together
- have a demonstrable knowledge of the marketplace. Fundamentally what you need is not merely someone who can post your CV to a practice, but someone whose strength of contacts within the firms can add value, ensuring that you are given proper consideration
- discuss each role with you thoroughly and get prior clearance before a CV is submitted. This is an extremely important for protecting confidentiality and avoiding duplication
- brief you fully prior to any interviews, ensuring that you know what the role entails and how the interview will be run. We also give you honest interview feedback - if you don't do very well in an interview you can always learn from the experience
- are accessible and return your calls

Why use Sacco Mann?

Principally because we believe that the points outlined above are fundamental. We enjoy recruitment, and we are good at it, because we genuinely enjoy assisting people make positive career moves. We don't shuffle paper because we know our marketplace and are therefore in a position to give reliable, knowledgeable and practical advice.

The vast majority of our applicants and clients are at pains to thank us for the advice and service that we provide and we believe the high level of referral business is a direct result of the fact that lawyers value our input.
