Senior FP&A Analyst

About Lawhive

Our mission is to make the law accessible to everyone.

The legal industry is built on technology and process that hasn't been updated in hundreds of years - that's why we've reinvented the entire model from the ground-up with our own bespoke AI operating system at the core.

Lawhive is a regulated law firm with an AI-native platform built to amplify expertise and revolutionise the way people practice law, leading to exceptional outcomes for clients and lawyers.

Lawhive Labs is how we bring this vision to life. It's our frontier lab that combines top engineering, design, AI and legal talent from around the world, joining forces to build the future of law.

We're backed by top-tier investors including Google Ventures, Balderton Capital and TQ Ventures and in December 2024 we secured $40M Series A funding round to facilitate international expansion and to grow our team, representing one of the five largest Series A rounds in Europe for 2024.

We're headquartered in London and in 2025 successfully launched in the US…and we're just getting started.

Finance at Lawhive

We are a lean, high-impact finance organisation operating across the UK and US group structure - the engine room that keeps Lawhive moving with precision as we scale a first-of-its-kind global AI-native law firm. We partner deeply with every part of the business: product, engineering, legal operations, hr, talent, and the exec team. Our mandate is simple: build world-class, audit-ready, scalable finance architecture that can support hyper-growth and international expansion.

The next 12–18 months will bring some of the most challenging and meaningful work you'll do in your career. We're focused on:

• Designing and embedding the financial systems, controls and reporting infrastructure required for a multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction group (UK, US) on the path to audit and global scale
• Building real-time, decision-grade data - from cashflow to margins to unit economics - ensuring the business can make fast, high-quality decisions as we grow revenue and deploy capital
• Transforming acquired entities into a single, unified finance ecosystem with tight working-capital discipline and deep operational control
• Implementing automation and intelligent workflows across payables, payroll, client-money compliance, tax, FP&A and revenue accounting to unlock leverage across the business
• Partnering with leaders to shape strategy, investment decisions, and the future of AI-enabled legal services

If you want a finance role where the bar is high, the problems are real, and the impact is visible across the whole company - this is it.
