Job description

We're on a mission to make sure everyone has access to the law.

Lawhive is an online platform for consumers and small businesses to get legal help for a fraction of the cost of a law firm. Our platform combines regulated human lawyers collaborating alongside the world's first AI lawyer specifically built for consumer legal work.

Equal access to the law is one of the biggest and most pressing unsolved problems in society today. We're passionate about levelling the playing field and believe access to the law should be a basic utility in society.

Our AI lawyer Lawrence is built on top of our own fine tuned LLM and recently passed the Solicitors Qualifying Exams (SQE).

We have backing from leading US and UK VC funds including Google Ventures and Episode 1, and from founders and executives who've built some of the biggest startups like Bloom & Wild, Primer, SignalAI, Spotify, Meta, Curve, Monzo, Tide.

The Role

We're looking for a Finance Analyst to support the development of our FP&A, M&A and Accounting functions. You will be adept at financial modelling supporting our Finance Director in these key areas with your technical skill. You will be required to develop and update our financial modelling for budgeting, forecasting and supporting business managers at Lawhive in their KPI monitoring.

You will work with our FD in the development of our accounting and M&A functions as we reduce our reliance on external accountants, bring our function inhouse and develop our M&A function for managing the acquisition of relevant private law firms. To do this, you will develop systems and processes for the regular accounting functions of a finance department including bookkeeping, invoice processing, management accounting and client money reporting.

You will have a strong understanding of accounting enabling you to support in the more technical elements of our financial reporting. The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant with a strong bias to financial modelling skills from either investment banking, venture capital or a high growth business.

Requirements

• Financial modelling: You have demonstrable expert skill here.

• Experience: 5+ years finance experience with background from a leading global finance firm.
• Attention to detail: A fastidious attention to detail in accuracy and presentation of your work.
