Finance Systems Specialist / Finance Systems Accountant - Legal Sector
London - Hybrid (2-3 days onsite) Initial 6-month
I'm working with a leading international organisation that is looking for an experienced Finance Systems Specialist / Finance Systems Accountant to support a major period of growth and international expansion.
The immediate focus will be supporting the finance systems setup for a new international office, working closely with Finance, Technology and third-party vendors to ensure the financial structures, processes and reporting are configured and tested correctly.
This isn't a standard application support role - we're looking for someone who genuinely understands accounting and how it translates into the finance system.
Key experience:
- Strong Aderant Expert experience - Elite 3E also considered
- General Ledger design and GL mapping
- Strong understanding of AP, AR, billing and cash/accrual accounting
- Finance systems implementation, configuration and testing
- Testing transactions from sub-ledgers through to the GL
- Financial data validation and reconciliation
- Experience working closely with management/financial accountants
- New office, company or legal entity setup experience highly desirable
- Legal sector experience strongly preferred
- SQL / financial reporting experience beneficial
The ideal candidate will come from a Finance Systems Accountant, Systems Accountant, Finance Systems Manager or Senior Finance Systems Analyst background and combine strong systems knowledge with a solid understanding of the underlying accounting processes.
There is also potential for further project work supporting wider international growth and future finance transformation initiatives.
Recent experience working in a Finance Systems role within a law firm is essential to be considered for this opportunity.
