• Review WIP balances with partners and lawyers, identifying issues and working with the Revenue Manager to resolve them
• Proactively manage aged WIP over six months old, including write‑downs in line with firm policy
• Oversee unbilled disbursements and manage the disbursement provision process
• Act as the primary expert for Aderant billing and iTimekeep within your practice group
• Take ownership of financial management on key and complex matters, including multi‑client or multi‑jurisdictional matters
• Support the billing team during month‑end and peak periods
• Prepare fee forecasts and ad‑hoc financial reports for internal stakeholders and clients
• Identify opportunities to improve working capital performance across the firm

• A strong understanding of the full revenue cycle within a law firm
• Experience preparing complex billing or matter‑related finance information
• Experience with BI tools beneficial but not required
• Strong knowledge of the Solicitors Accounts Rules and VAT compliance
• Highly proactive approach to WIP and working capital management
