Financial Controller

Financial Controller

Salary: £60,000 - £65,000

Location: Manchester city centre

Duration: Permanent (Hybrid)

Sellick Partnership has been engaged to recruit a Financial Controller for an award-winning, extremely reputable and successful law firm in Manchester city centre. They are named by The Times as one of the Best Law Firms in the country, ranked in the top tiers of the independent legal directories, Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners and have won a raft of national and regional awards.

Reporting into the CFO, we are looking to recruit someone who has a legal background (whilst not essential) or someone who has worked in a similar type of sector who has experience business partnering ie being able to have conversations around debt recovery and WIP etc with solicitors.

It's a fairly simple business, so the accounting isn't overly complex (one trading entity), and currently they outsource some legal cashiering and some management and statutory accounts production to their Accountants.

You will not be required to produce stats or tax comps and so financial modelling, excel, management accounts, new system implementation, would be preferred skills. Also, Power BI/Claude/Copilot reporting experience or interest and willing is fine as well.

The successful applicant will be a qualified Accountant (ACA or ACCA or CIMA) coming from a similar role with experience in a law firm or similar business but they would be happy with a QBE type FC, who values culture and a wonderful working environment over serial promotion opportunities.

They offer strong employee benefits and if you consider yourself to be a committed, career driven professional who can demonstrate the above experience and who would welcome the stimulus of this finance post then we would be pleased to hear from you.

We are only able to consider applications from those who are eligible to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship.

Sellick Partnership is proud to be an inclusive and accessible recruitment business and we support applications from candidates of all backgrounds and circumstances. Please note, our advertisements use years' experience, hourly rates, and salary levels purely as a guide and we assess applications based on the experience and skills evidenced on the CV.
