Finance at Lawhive

We're a lean finance team working across Lawhive's UK and US group, partnering with every part of the business from product and engineering to legal operations and the exec team. Over the next 12 to 18 months we're focused on:
  • Building the systems, controls and reporting for a multi-entity group on the path to audit
  • Creating real-time, decision-grade data on cash flow, margins and unit economics

Role Overview

We're looking for an experienced Senior FP&A Analyst to own financial planning for a fast-scaling, multi-entity group. This is the only FP&A role in the business, so you'll own forecasting, budgeting and financial modelling end to end, working directly with finance leadership and senior stakeholders across product, engineering, operations and commercial teams.

This is a role for someone who has built FP&A foundations before, ideally in a startup or scale-up. You'll know what good looks like in a high-growth environment, be comfortable creating structure from ambiguity, and be ready to act as a trusted advisor on performance, trade-offs and strategy as we scale across the UK and US.

Reporting and Insight
  • Produce monthly reporting packs with commentary, analysis and a clear narrative
  • Track revenue, margins, unit economics and operational KPIs
  • Improve reporting processes, dashboards and data visibility across the business
  • Maintain audit-ready documentation and ensure accuracy and consistency across outputs
Building the Function
  • Build scalable FP&A tools, processes and reporting frameworks
  • Run the budgeting cycle and set up standardised planning processes across teams
  • Partner with the Management Accounting team on performance reviews, month-end insight and variance analysis
  • Strengthen financial governance and planning discipline across the business


About You
  • Significant experience in FP&A, commercial finance, or strategic analysis
  • Experience in a startup or scale-up, ideally having built or rebuilt an FP&A function
  • Strong financial modelling capability and advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills
  • Confident analysing complex data sets and translating them into clear recommendations
  • Experience partnering with senior stakeholders and influencing decisions
  • Strong understanding of revenue models, costs, margins and operational metrics
  • Highly analytical, commercially minded and intellectually curious
  • Comfortable in fast-paced, high-growth environments with shifting priorities
  • A self-starter who enjoys building structure, improving tools and driving clarity
