Job Description
Revenue Controller - Strategic Business Partnering Role | Leading Legal Group
A high-growth business. A high-impact role.
Not just another legal business - a forward-thinking, fast-growing professional services group with a finance team that's central to our success. As we scale, we're looking for a commercially-minded Revenue Controller to join the Group Accounting team and play a key role in driving profitability, improving cash flow, and influencing strategic decisions across legal platforms.
This is a high-profile, value-add role - ideal for someone who thrives on partnering with stakeholders, shaping process improvements, and making a tangible commercial impact.
The Role
As Revenue Controller, you'll work closely with fee earners and senior stakeholders across legal business units to optimise revenue performance, unlock working capital, and enhance financial decision-making.
You'll be at the heart of financial operations, helping shape the newly-formed Revenue Control function while delivering key insights that drive sustainable growth.
Key Responsibilities:
Act as a strategic business partner to legal fee-earning teams - improving profitability, working capital, and overall financial hygiene.
Lead regular WIP review sessions with Matter Managers to refine billing estimates and optimise lockup.
Proactively manage matter maintenance, including timely closures, write-offs, and legacy balance clean-ups.
Ensure accurate matter assignment, particularly post-leaver transitions.
Champion data quality, working with stakeholders to improve matter setup and time recording.
Support improved time capture through targeted analysis and engagement with Unit Heads.
Collaborate with Finance to refine KPIs and reporting - ensuring focus remains on the metrics that matter.
Assist with debt recovery by supporting fee earners and Credit Control teams.
Build strong relationships across all levels of the business, becoming the go-to expert for revenue and billing queries.
Quantify and manage financial risks and opportunities in client contracts.
Prepare regular reporting and insights for Finance Directors and platform leadership.
The Team
This finance function is a vital part of the business' success - structured, specialised, and business-facing. We support both legal and non-legal arms of the Group through dedicated teams across Accounting, Billing, Cashiering, Credit Control, and Purchasing.
You'll join the Group Accounting team, reporting directly into our Platform Finance Directors, and will help shape a revenue control strategy fit for the Group's ambitious growth plans.
We don't just report numbers - we add value, challenge the status quo, and actively drive performance.
What We're Looking For
Experience in a similar finance or revenue control role - ideally within the legal or professional services sector.
Proven track record of business partnering with non-financial stakeholders, including senior leaders.
Strong commercial acumen with an eye for detail and process improvement.
Proactive, inquisitive mindset - comfortable challenging inefficiencies and spotting value leakage.
Exceptional organisational and time management skills - able to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Strong communication skills - able to influence and collaborate across all levels of the organisation.
Resilient, solutions-focused, and confident making decisions independently.
A team player with the drive to lead initiatives and see them throughBefore You Apply
