Whether you're looking for more autonomy, greater involvement in business development or simply a firm that offers a better balance between your career and life outside it, this could be well worth a conversation. The Role: You'll advise a varied client base, from start-ups and owner-managed businesses to established companies, on a broad range of corporate and commercial matters.

The firm also places real value on its place in the local community, with opportunities to get involved in charity initiatives and other community activities. What's on Offer? The package is about more than salary alone, with flexibility, development and benefits designed to support you both professionally and personally.

Enhanced maternity pay, alongside additional leave for those with caring/family responsibilities.

Commercial Property Solicitor/Legal Executive
Swindon
Opportunity: Commercial Property Solicitor / Legal Executive Location: Royal Wootton Bassett | Hybrid and Flexible Working Salary: Up to £80,000 + bonus If you enjoy commercial property but would like more opportunity to develop your practice, get involved in interesting work and have a say in where a team goes next, this could be worth a look. I'm working with a well-established Wiltshire law firm with a lovely, down-to-earth culture and a growing Commercial Property team. They're looking for a Solicitor or Legal Executive to join them in Royal Wootton Bassett and there's plenty of scope to develop professionally as the team continues to grow. And the work? It's a little different from what you might expect from a small regional firm. The Work: You'll handle a varied commercial property caseload, including sales and acquisitions, refinancing and leases, with the opportunity to get involved in some particularly interesting specialist work. The team has expertise in advising landowners on promotion agreements, options, renewable energy projects and land diversification, alongside pension property matters. The renewable energy side is a real point of difference. It's not something you see every day in a smaller, traditional practice and the team has an exciting foundation to build on. There's an established platform, a strong network and real potential to develop this offering further. You'll manage your own matters with autonomy, taking a practical, commercially minded approach to client work, while working alongside colleagues on larger and more complex transactions. It's a role where you can use your existing experience but also broaden it, build relationships and get involved in the continued development of the department. The Firm: This is a firm that's been part of the Wiltshire community for over 150 years, with established offices and a loyal client base built over generations. It's proud of its approachable, professional style and offers something that can be difficult to find: interesting, high-quality legal work in a truly friendly environment. It's ambitious and keen to keep developing but without the feeling that you need to fit into a big corporate machine. People matter, relationships matter, and there's room to make your mark. The Team and Your Future: You'll work closely with an experienced Commercial Partner who has a background in larger commercial practices. They bring that wider commercial experience and network to the team, alongside a strong foundation of work and relationships. The opportunity is to build on that foundation together. Whether you're looking to develop your technical expertise, take on more responsibility, strengthen client relationships or progress as the department grows, there's room to shape what your next few years could look like. What We Are Looking For: They're open-minded about PQE because the right person matters more than a number on a CV. They appreciate that experience doesn't always fit neatly into a PQE bracket so if you've built strong commercial property experience through a slightly different route, don't rule yourself out. You'll ideally have experience across a broad range of commercial property matters, be comfortable managing your own caseload and enjoy providing clear, commercially focused advice.

Head of Finance
Cardiff
Head of Finance Build the Finance Function. Shape the Future. Are you a Head of Finance who thrives on building, rather than simply maintaining? This is an opportunity to join an ambitious start-up organisation at a genuinely exciting stage of its growth and take complete ownership of building its finance function from the ground up. We're looking for someone who has recently been there and done it - someone who has taken a start-up or early-stage business from limited finance infrastructure to a robust, scalable and commercially focused finance function. If you love creating processes, implementing systems, establishing controls, building reporting frameworks and putting the foundations in place for sustainable growth, this could be the role for you. 🚀 This isn't a "keep the lights on" finance role. You'll have the opportunity to build the finance function around you. From establishing the right processes and controls, to selecting and implementing systems, developing reporting, managing cash flow and creating meaningful financial insight for the leadership team, you'll be instrumental in shaping how finance operates as the business grows. What will you be doing? Taking full ownership of the finance function and developing it from the ground up Designing and implementing robust financial processes, controls and governance Establishing the finance infrastructure required to support a rapidly growing business Implementing and optimising finance systems and technology Developing monthly management reporting, budgets, forecasts and cash-flow reporting Building meaningful MI and financial dashboards for the leadership team Providing commercial insight to support strategic decision-making Managing statutory accounting, tax, audit and year-end requirements Establishing strong financial controls and ensuring the business has the right framework as it scales Working closely with the founders and senior leadership team, acting as a genuine commercial partner Identifying opportunities to improve financial efficiency, visibility and decision-making As the business grows, building and developing the finance team around you 🧩 What we're looking for This role is not simply about having held the title of Head of Finance. We're particularly interested in someone who has recent, hands-on experience of building a finance function within a start-up or early-stage environment. You'll ideally have experience of: Setting up a finance function from scratch Building processes and controls where they previously didn't exist Selecting, implementing or developing finance systems Creating reporting and MI frameworks from the ground up Establishing budgeting, forecasting and cash-flow processes Supporting a business through a period of significant growth Working closely with founders / CEOs and senior stakeholders Moving between strategic thinking and hands-on delivery Building and leading a finance team as the organisation develops Most importantly, you'll be someone who gets excited by a blank sheet of paper. You won't be walking into a fully established finance function with every process already documented. You'll be creating it. 🌱 The person behind the role We're looking for someone entrepreneurial, commercially minded and pragmatic. Someone who can look at a business and think: "Right - here's what we need to build, here's how we should do it, and here's where I can make a difference." You'll need to be comfortable operating at pace, working with ambiguity and getting stuck into the detail when required. You should enjoy creating, improving and building, rather than simply inheriting established processes. And you'll need the confidence to challenge, influence and advise senior leadership while remaining hands-on enough to make things happen. Why this opportunity? This is a chance to make your mark from day one. You'll have genuine ownership of the finance agenda and the opportunity to build something that will scale alongside the organisation. For the right person, this could be much more than another Head of Finance position - it's an opportunity to design the finance function, shape the infrastructure and become a key part of the company's growth story. If you've recently built a finance function from the ground up and that's exactly the kind of challenge that energises you, I'd love to hear from you.

It's a culture where everyone wins.
