Transactional Finance Manager - 12-month FTC
We're supporting a complex, well-established organisation as they appoint a Transactional Finance Manager on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This role is remote-first, with travel to the Bristol office around 1 day per month.
This is a highly specific requirement. The only candidates of interest will have worked in a legal environment and have strong, hands-on experience using SOS (Solicitors Own Software). SOS is central to the role and day-to-day decision-making. Without it, this role will not be a fit.
