• Overseeing matter management processes within and outside SAP R/3, including matter opening, time recording, time transfers, billing, and debt collection activities.
• Reviewing and processing system access and authorisation requests, ensuring compliance with finance policies and appropriate segregation of duties.
• Conducting periodic authorisation reviews alongside Global Finance Managers and external auditors to support governance and internal controls.
• Preparing change request documentation, working alongside Technology teams to implement, test, and deploy system enhancements, and supporting smooth adoption across offices.
• Developing and maintaining process documentation, contributing to the Finance Manual, and supporting the design and delivery of user training and communications.
• Supporting senior colleagues on strategic initiatives, including user acceptance testing, solution rollouts, and business-as-usual improvement projects.

What We're Looking For

• Proficient in the use of SAP R/3 and Microsoft Excel, with the capability to work confidently across finance systems while maintaining accuracy and efficiency.
• Highly organised and detail-oriented, able to balance multiple priorities, meet challenging deadlines, and consistently deliver high-quality results.
• Experience working within finance operations, finance systems, or finance support teams, with exposure to areas such as matter management, time recording, legal and e-billing, WIP control, and cash collection processes.
