Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom DLA Piper Full time

We are seeking a highly skilled Client Money Officer to join our Finance Compliance team at DLA Piper. The successful candidate will be based in our Sheffield office, which supports our operations and local finance teams in over 30 countries across Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.

The Financial Compliance Team serves as the 2nd line assurance function, responsible for establishing and overseeing adherence to a robust financial controls framework across all regions within the International Firm. Their primary focus is on proactive management of financial risks.

Within this role, the chosen candidate will collaborate closely with the Senior Client Money Officer to ensure compliance with the Solicitor Regulation Authority (SRA) Accounts Rules in the UK, as well as equivalent regulations globally. This involves conducting regular assessments of key control procedures, such as residual client balance reporting and bank reconciliations.

A crucial aspect of the role involves expanding these duties to include implementing a structured training program, updating client money policies, maintaining regular communication with various business units, and crafting a comprehensive client money control framework. The key focus of the role will be supporting process improvements within existing compliance activities and challenging established behaviors and practices.

The candidate will serve as a trusted advisor to the business and must have detailed knowledge of the SRA Accounts Rules and directly relevant experience. Key responsibilities include:

  • Working closely with local and central Finance teams to raise awareness of client money controls and promote examples of best practice.
  • Helping to develop a Client Money assurance framework for the International firm, where key controls relevant to SRA compliance are defined and mapped to an appropriate control owner.
  • Undertaking monthly reviews of international bank account reconciliations with a focus on highlighting any client money issues.
  • Performing regular reviews of key client money processes and controls, including reviews of residual client balance reports and local breach logs.
  • Supporting the Senior Financial Compliance Manager in researching, documenting, and implementing a full suite of international client money policies.
  • Staying up-to-date with regulatory changes in the landscape and sharing knowledge as required.
  • Supporting and overseeing the SRA Accounts rules external audit.
  • Liaising with the Office of the General Counsel on relevant areas of client money compliance.

Key requirements for the role include:

  • Strong knowledge of the SRA Accounts Rules.
  • A proven track record of compliance or finance operations, such as legal cashiering in the legal sector.
  • Strong IT skills, particularly in Excel and PowerPoint.
