What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for professional growth and a collaborative work environment.

I am an organised and efficient finance manager with extensive experience in business and finance management, particularly within the legal sector. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence, demonstrated through my ability to manage complex financial processes, including budgeting, financial reporting, and compliance with legal regulations.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led teams and provided training in legal accounting and case management systems. My role at Burroughs Solicitors has allowed me to refine my skills in managing billing and Legal Aid claims, while my previous positions have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of financial administration in law firms. I pride myself on my ability to work under pressure and adapt quickly to changing environments, ensuring that all financial operations run smoothly and efficiently.
