Legal Financial Controller

Manchester city centre

£50,000 – £60,000 – Hybrid, Private Healthcare, generous holiday – Career progression!

A firm that operates a true meritocracy -opportunity, progression, flexibility and so much more…

What a meeting! I have come away from these modern offices in the city centre thinking wow, I would love to work here. This slick firm of solicitors is seeking a Legal Financial Controller to take over their finance function, operating as the No1 in finance and a crucial part of the SLT.

Why is this the career move for me?

Progression: Become the FD/CFO of the business. Speaking with the CFO of the parent company, he has mapped a route for you to progress to a more senior level; if career progression is your goal I couldn’t imagine a more supportive environment to achieve this in!

Partnering: Business modelling & forecasting: you will be a crucial player in achieving the bold expansion plans of the company, partnering, advising and influencing the strategic direction of the business.

Implement change: Bringing everything finance related inhouse; currently the legal cashier team is outsourced but the CFO is open to you bringing this in house if you see fit.

Growth: Build your own team, once you are fully integrated and operational you will be supported and encouraged to recruit your own finance team.

On company culture, they operate a strict ‘work hard, play hard’ policy, achievements are rewarded. You will be entrusted to work autonomously, there will be no micro-managing here – this really is a business that not only looks after their staff, but trusts them.

About you:

Qualified Accountant, ACCA / ACA / CIMA

Ideally, you will have operated as a FM/FC in a law firm but this is not essential

Goal orientated with a strong desire to improve and succeed

Have proven experience in a senior finance position

You will be rewarded with a market leading benefits package, and have the 100% backing and support from the senior leadership as you navigate this new role.

Applications now welcomed.

What Our Clients say

really good service and clear communication

Platinum provide a really good service and clear communication. The team really understand the roles and our requirements; and the candidates put forward are of a high calibre. We will definitely continue to use Platinum.

Sara Jardim
Talent Acquisition Specialist

they understood the calibre of individual we were looking for

We received a very thorough level of service from Platinum, they understood the calibre of individual we were looking for. They responded quickly through both email and phone and we would definitely use Platinum again.

Jane Anderson
HR Director

They got a great understanding of what I needed

I found Platinum through a google search and decided to use them due to ease, the fact they had candidates already in mind, and didn’t have an exclusivity clause so we weren’t limited. They got a great understanding of what I needed on the first call, provided candidates in a timely manner but it was clear they had been considered for the role and not just passed over for the sake of it. I would use Platinum again in the future.

Mimi Rostron
Head of Culture & Engagement

I would definitely use Platinum again…I already have!

Having used Platinum at my previous employer I continued the relationship for finance roles and now an EA role. The consultants are brilliant. They asked all the right questions and helped create the job description. I would definitely use Platinum again…I already have!

Dan Preston
Finance Director

The level of service is excellent

I have worked with Platinum Recruitment for over 4 years. The level of service is excellent. They are always willing to go the extra mile to understand the business and source the right candidates. I would always use Platinum for finance roles as the quality of CV’s provided is great. I appreciate that in today’s current market conditions it is not always easy to find candidates; and even when you find them they may have been made other offers but resilience is a key strength of the Platinum team.

Sue Hammond
Senior HR Manager

They provide a good level of customer service

We have used Platinum many times and will continue to do so. We first heard about them a couple of years ago when they contacted us about a role we were advertising online; and since then they have always found us the perfect fit for our business. They understand what we are looking for and the type of person which is very important to us. Platinum is a personable business and being able to have that good relationship with one person specifically is great. Sometimes you can be passed from pillar to post with some companies, but I have not experienced that with Platinum. They provide a good level of customer service which I believe is important.

Joshua Murphy
Managing Director

We would use Platinum again

I heard about Platinum Recruitment online and I couldn’t speak highly enough of the service provided. They recruited the role and provided candidates as requested both in terms of ability and personality. After an initial set back with a candidate pulling out due to circumstances changing (which was no fault of the consultant) they worked quickly to get another batch of candidates one of whom we employed. We would use Platinum again – the candidates put forward were in line with conversations and of a high standard.

Colin Royle
Group Financial Controller

The communication was brilliant

The service was amazing and I would use Platinum again without hesitation! I was contacted about the opportunity and they listened to what I was looking for and what I had to offer. They were very patient, polite and friendly. There was a good appreciation of the roles that would match my skills and experience. I was kept informed throughout the whole process and received useful advice prior to my interviews. The communication was brilliant.

Wendy
Candidate

very professional, helpful and efficient

Platinum Recruitment are very professional, helpful and efficient. The service is absolutely excellent, and the consultant I used is a star! They knew exactly what I wanted and which role would fit me. I was constantly given feedback and guided through the interview process. I would definitely use Platinum again and I highly recommend others to use Platinum too!

Huanni
Candidate

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Platinum

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Platinum, the business was so helpful from start to finish! I applied through indeed but I have also seen the Platinum Instagram. The consultant was professional, helpful and resilient when it came to helping me find a job. I received an exceptional service from Platinum, they made sure I understood the role and helped me prepare for the interview which really boosted my confidence. Overall, I am very happy with my experience and couldn’t fault anything about it. I’ve never applied for a job through a recruitment agency before but if I was looking again, I would use Platinum.

Claire
Candidate

I was supported ahead of both interviews

I have been aware of Platinum for some time as over the years whenever I either needed to research the market or simply wanted to see what’s out there Platinum always had visible adverts and good looking roles. I was contacted really quickly after I applied and was asked some good questions which really dug into what I wanted and what the companies wanted, so there was a focus on finding good matches. The job search felt pro-active throughout the process and kept things moving quickly and I was supported ahead of both interviews I had with as much information as they had to share at any given time (e.g. I kept getting updates as they found out more). I’ve always found a wide range of roles on the website, which also seems to be updated quickly with changes to available roles. I’m very pleased with the role I’ve found and the business was instrumental in putting me there!

Chloe
Candidate

I received a really personable service

I was contacted by Platinum about a role they were looking to fill. I had a brief one to one with one of the consultants where we talked through past experience and what I was looking for to progress. I was given great advice, this made me feel comfortable and confident which allowed me to perform well during the interviews. I received a really personable service and the ability to match my current skill set to a role which was attainable but still allowed me to build on my career was a key strength of the business. I would absolutely use Platinum again in the future!
