Your new company
BS1 based business

Your new role You'll be joining a respected Bristol law firm where accuracy, professionalism and relationship‑building matter just as much as cash collection. This role suits someone who thrives in a fast‑paced professional‑services environment and enjoys being the calm, credible voice that keeps the billing cycle moving.

What you'll be doing

  • Managing your own ledger of legal clients, ensuring timely payment and proactive follow‑up
  • Handling complex queries with diplomacy and confidence
  • Working closely with Partners, Fee Earners and the wider Finance team
  • Monitoring aged debt, preparing reports and driving improvements in cashflow
  • Supporting month‑end processes and contributing to continuous improvement


What you'll need to succeed

  • Solid experience as a Credit Controller within professional services (legal, consultancy, accountancy or similar)
  • Strong communication skills and the confidence to influence senior stakeholders
  • A solutions‑focused, commercially aware mindset
  • Ability to manage competing priorities with accuracy and professionalism
  • A calm, approachable style that builds trust quickly

What you'll get in return

  • Hybrid working (typically 2-3 days in the Bristol office)
  • 25-28 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Enhanced pension scheme
  • Private medical insurance
  • Life assurance & income protection
  • Professional study support (AAT/CICM if desired)
  • Wellbeing programme including counselling, EAP and mental‑health support
  • Discounted legal services for you and your family
  • Clear progression pathways within a growing finance function
  • Modern offices in central Bristol, close to Temple Meads

Why this role matters
Credit control in a law firm isn't just about chasing invoices - it's about protecting client relationships, supporting Partners, and ensuring the firm's financial health. You'll be a visible, valued part of the business with genuine influence.
