Job description

Divisional Manager - Legal Finance & Accounting

A leading international law firm is seeking a commercially minded Finance Business Partner to join its high-performing finance team.

The role offers a broad remit, including financial planning, budgeting, pricing support and performance improvement initiatives. You'll act as a trusted adviser to practice group leadership, helping drive profitability and financial efficiency across the business.

The client is particularly keen to see applications from Audit Managers in practice who are looking to make their first move in-house. This is a great opportunity to transition into a business-facing role with real impact and visibility.

Key Highlights:

• Strategic finance partnering across international teams
• Exposure to pricing, planning, and commercial analysis
• Opportunity for international travel
• Hybrid working and flexible arrangements available
• Based in either Leeds or Sheffield

Ideal Candidate:

• Qualified accountant (ACCA/ACA/CIMA)
• Strong commercial acumen and financial modelling skills
• Confident communicator with stakeholder management experience
• Professional services experience is a plus, but not essential
