Your new company

I have partnered with a prestigious and well-established law firm that is seeking an experienced Accounts Payable Supervisor to join its finance team. Renowned for its commitment to social justice and legal aid, the firm has built a strong reputation for representing individuals in complex and often high-profile legal matters. In this role, you will be part of a collaborative finance team of 15, reporting directly to the Financial Controller and supervising one AP Assistant. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a legal sector background to take full ownership of the AP function while mentoring a junior team member. You’ll be based in the firm’s newly renovated offices near King’s Cross Station, offering a modern and professional working environment.

Your new role

  • Report directly to the Financial Controller and supervise and support one AP team member
  • Act as the first point of contact for AP-related queries within the team and across departments
  • Invoice & Payment Management
  • Manage the end-to-end Accounts Payable process
  • Oversee the accurate and timely processing of approximately 60 invoices per week
  • Ensure all invoices are correctly coded, approved, and matched to purchase orders
  • Manage weekly and monthly payment runs, ensuring all payments are processed on time
  • Monitor and manage aged creditors, ensuring timely resolution of outstanding items
  • Maintain strong relationships with suppliers, handling queries and resolving discrepancies efficiently
  • Perform regular supplier statement reconciliations to ensure account accuracy
  • Liaise with internal departments and external suppliers to resolve queries and prevent duplications

What you'll need to succeed

  • To succeed in this role, you’ll need at least 5 years of experience working within a legal finance team, be proficient with legal finance systems, and ideally bring prior supervisory experience, which would be a strong advantage.
