We're working with a highly respected legal business whose credit function is growing due to increased client activity and a greater focus on international risk. As a result, they're looking for a confident and commercially minded Credit Risk Analyst / Credit Controller to join the team on an initial 6-month contract.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with strong credit experience in a professional services environment who wants to move into a more strategic, risk-focused position where you will get the chance to review financials, interpret credit reports, and help the business make informed onboarding decisions.

In this role, you'll work closely with internal stakeholders to assess the financial health of new and prospective clients. You'll be responsible for analysing credit reports and balance sheets, identifying potential risks, and providing clear recommendations to fee earners and partners regarding credit limits and onboarding decisions.

You'll also play a key role in wider credit control activity - supporting with aged debt, resolving complex billing issues, and contributing to debtor review meetings - all within a collaborative and experienced credit function.

This isn't a traditional ledger-focused credit control position; it's a forward-looking role focused on protecting the business through smart risk analysis and effective stakeholder communication.

• Conduct thorough reviews of credit reports, financial statements, and balance sheets to assess the financial health of new and existing clients
• Identify adverse information or warning signs and summarise risk clearly for internal stakeholders
• Prepare detailed credit risk assessments to support decisions on client onboarding and setting credit limits
• Work closely with stakeholders across departments (e.g. fee earners, matter partners) to communicate risk insights and support onboarding processes
• Contribute to debtor review meetings, offering insight and analysis on higher-risk or problematic accounts
• Act as a key point of contact for queries around financial risk, credit limits, and client account setup
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of credit risk best practices, adapting approach based on client type and jurisdiction
• Support the wider credit function by managing a selection of accounts within the ledger
• Chase overdue payments via phone and email, working with procurement teams and legal contacts to resolve issues
• Assist in resolving complex invoice queries or disputes, escalating where necessary
• Help maintain aged debt levels within agreed targets, ensuring any problem accounts are escalated quickly

• Proven experience in credit control and/or credit risk, ideally within professional services (legal, accountancy, consultancy, etc.)
• Strong understanding of credit risk assessment, including reading and interpreting financial documents, although someone who has limited experience with this would still be considered.
• Excellent stakeholder management and confident communication - able to influence and challenge where necessary
• Commercially astute and detail-oriented
• Proficient in Excel and comfortable handling financial data
• A collaborative team player who enjoys cross-functional working
• Available immediately or on a 1-week notice

• Join a highly experienced, stable credit team that values knowledge-sharing and professional development
• Step into a more strategic credit risk role with genuine responsibility and visibility across the business
• Work across multiple departments including litigation, corporate, finance, and property
• Benefit from strong one-to-one mentoring and a supportive team environment
• Fast-moving process - interviews starting early August and the team can onboard someone quickly

Summary:
If you're a credit control professional with an analytical mindset, confident communication style, and experience within professional services, this is an ideal opportunity to move into a forward-thinking credit risk role with long-term potential.
