Being best in class in the eyes of our clients means that our people must be exceptional. We look not only for brilliant minds, but for people who will thrive in our environment: people who love working collaboratively and demonstrate the innovative, efficient, agile, entrepreneurial, and responsible mind-set we aim to bring to every interaction. Ours is an environment of outperformance. We achieve this not with targets and incentives, but by fostering a positive, supportive, fair, and open atmosphere. We respect and value difference but insist on inclusivity. We celebrate all aspects of diversity and challenge any form of bias. This is vital to our ability to work as one team, with a common goal. We are looking for a Senior Revenue Advisor to join us on a 12 month fixed-term contract to manage the Work-in-Progress and debt profiles across designated practice groups, ensuring timely billing to optimise recovery and minimise financial exposure. You will partner closely with stakeholders to drive strong financial discipline, maximise cash collection, and reduce debt through proactive monitoring and collaboration with Credit Control. As part of a collaborative Finance team, you will contribute to maintaining the firm's financial performance and continuous improvement. Your Key Responsibilities: Manage Work-in-Progress and debt portfolios across designated practice groups, driving timely billing to optimise recovery and minimise exposure. Partner with Partners, Matter Managers and stakeholders to review WIP, agree billing timelines, and resolve queries to improve billing efficiency. Monitor WIP levels against agreed budgets/estimates, highlighting risks and ensuring clients are informed of any additional costs in advance. Take ownership of the end-to-end billing process, including client requirements and eBilling, ensuring accuracy and minimising delays or rejections. Provide clear, timely reporting on WIP and debt positions, highlighting risks, opportunities and recommended actions to key stakeholders. Work closely with Credit Control to progress aged debt, support client negotiations, and drive improved cash collection in line with payment terms. Build strong relationships with Partners and clients to promote good financial hygiene, resolve issues proactively, and support effective matter management. Identify and escalate issues where required, while contributing to process improvements and the effective use of financial tools and reporting.
