Financial Crime Advisor \n Leeds \n Hybrid working \n We're currently working with a leading global law firm looking for a Financial Crime Advisor to join their Compliance function in Leeds \n This is a varied advisory role supporting colleagues across the UK, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, while also collaborating closely with the firm’s US business. \n The role? \n\n • Sanctions\n, • Anti-bribery and corruption\n, • Fraud prevention\n, • Anti-money laundering\n, • Prevention of tax evasion\n, • Market abuse\n\n You’ll act as an escalation point for complex queries, monitor regulatory developments, draft policies and guidance, support risk assessments and contribute to international projects and regulatory change programmes. \n About You? \n\n • Experience in a financial crime, risk or compliance role within a law firm, financial institution or professional services environment\n, • Knowledge of at least one financial crime discipline\n, • Strong research, analytical and policy-drafting skills\n, • The ability to provide clear, practical and commercially minded advice\n, • Confidence building relationships with stakeholders at all levels\n, • A curious and adaptable approach, with an interest in developing your expertise across financial crime\n\n A law degree or ICA qualification would be advantageous but isn’t essential. \n What’s in it for you? \n\n • Broad exposure across multiple areas of financial crime\n, • The opportunity to work across several international jurisdictions\n, • Regular interaction with senior stakeholders\n, • Involvement in strategic projects and regulatory change\n, • Hybrid and flexible working\n, • Structured training, mentoring and career development\n, • Healthcare, dental and wider wellbeing support\n, • The opportunity to build your career within a supportive global firm\n\n Interested? \n Know someone who could be great? \n Reach out for a confidential conversation.

New: Pensions Associate, NQ–3 PQE, £80,000–£90,000, International Law Firm, Leeds\n \n \n You'd join pensions at one of the few firms in Leeds running the discipline at real scale - a team advising a national client base out of a genuinely international platform, not a regional satellite.\n \n \n The draw here is breadth: you'd advise corporate sponsors and their schemes, providers, consolidators, public sector bodies and universities - a spread of scheme types you'd rarely get across in one seat elsewhere, whether you're newly qualified or a few years in.\n \n \n The work runs across advisory, transactional and project-based mandates, and because pensions bites on so many deals, you'll get pulled into the corporate transactions, restructurings and employment matters running through the wider firm.\n \n \n There's real responsibility on offer - your own client relationships, a seat at the table on business development, and room to build a specialism, at a level that scales with where you are in your PQE.\n \n \n Pensions sits deliberately close to the Employment, Corporate, Commercial, Banking and Financial Services teams here, so you're building integrated, cross-practice work from day one - and the team's collegiate reputation is a big part of why people stay.\n \n \n If you want serious pensions work with early autonomy and the reach of an international platform behind you, this is one to look at.\n \n \n Interested? Apply here or contact Chris Barr at QED Legal.

New: Corporate Lawyer (Senior Associate / Principal Associate), 5 to 9 PQE, £100,000 to £130,000, International Law Firm, Leeds\n \n \n An international full-service law firm is looking for an experienced Corporate lawyer to join its Leeds Corporate team at Senior Associate or Principal Associate level, 5 to 9 PQE.\n \n \n What sets this seat apart is the mix: you'd be working for a substantial base of the region's largest companies and a sizeable private equity client roster, while also picking up mandates that come through the firm's wider national and international relationships - local client contact with genuinely global deal flow, rather than one or the other.\n \n \n The work is primarily M&A, with some exposure to equity capital markets, private equity and corporate reorganisations. A general M&A skillset is what matters; cross-border or PE experience is useful but not a prerequisite. The team is consistently one of the busier M&A practices in the market, so the deal flow is real rather than occasional.\n \n \n There's a clear route to broaden your international exposure too - secondments and placements into other offices within the firm are genuinely on offer, not just a line in the brochure, alongside close working relationships with corporate teams across the network.\n \n \n At this level you'd also be expected to coach and supervise more junior lawyers and get involved in business development, so it suits someone ready to start building their own practice within an established, well-resourced team rather than just executing deals.\n \n \n This is a genuinely well-regarded seat for anyone at SA/PA level looking to combine strong local standing with real international reach.\n \n \n Interested? Apply here or contact Chris at QED Legal.

In fact, this role is much more about your ability to influence, challenge and partner with Finance teams across the region than direct people management. \n Why this role? \n This is more than a reporting and consolidation role. \n You'll have genuine visibility across the EMEA business, working closely with the EMEA CFO and local Finance teams across multiple countries. The Group has ambitious growth plans, including further acquisitions, so there will be plenty of opportunity to broaden your experience and take on more responsibility. \n For the right person, there's a clear opportunity for progression as the business continues to grow. \n If you're currently a Financial Controller or Group Financial Controller and are looking for a role with greater international exposure, more influence and a clear route to progress, this is well worth a conversation.

I’m working with a highly regarded independent firm of Chartered Accountants in Leeds that is looking to recruit a Senior Accountant into its Business Services team. \n Based in Leeds, the firm has an excellent reputation across Yorkshire and works with an impressive portfolio predominantly made up of owner-managed and family-owned businesses. \n This is a broad, client-facing role where you will take responsibility for accounts preparation, management accounts and tax-related work, while also developing strong relationships with your clients and supporting more junior members of the team. \n The firm offers the technical exposure and variety you would expect from a much larger accountancy practice, while retaining the autonomy, flexibility and personal culture of an independent business. \n Duties and responsibilities \n The role will involve working with a varied portfolio of clients and taking responsibility for assignments from start to finish. \n Typical responsibilities will include: \n\n • Preparing statutory accounts for limited companies, partnerships and sole traders\n, • Preparing management accounts and other periodic financial information\n, • Preparing and reviewing VAT returns\n, • Managing your own workload and ensuring client deadlines are met\n, • Acting as a key point of contact for clients\n, • Building strong, long-term relationships with business owners and management teams\n, • Visiting client premises where required to provide accounting and business support\n, • Assisting with corporation tax compliance\n, • Reviewing corporation tax returns where appropriate\n, • Getting involved with tax planning and advisory work, including areas such as capital allowances\n, • Identifying opportunities where clients may benefit from additional support or services\n, • Working closely with Managers and Partners on more complex assignments\n, • Supporting and mentoring junior members of the team\n, • Reviewing work and helping less experienced colleagues develop their technical knowledge\n, • Making effective use of accounting technology and cloud-based software\n, • The firm uses a variety of systems including Xero, Sage, IRIS and ProAudit, alongside Excel and other accounting technology.\n\n Experience and qualifications \n The successful candidate will ideally be: \n\n • ACA or ACCA qualified, although strong exam finalists will also be considered\n, • Experienced within an accountancy practice environment\n, • Ideally bringing around five years or more of accounting experience\n, • Experienced preparing statutory accounts from start to finish\n, • Experienced working with UK owner-managed and family businesses\n, • Confident communicating directly with clients\n, • Technically strong with a good understanding of UK accounting requirements\n, • Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of assignments\n, • Able to manage multiple clients and competing deadlines\n, • Interested in supporting and developing junior members of staff\n, • Confident using Excel and modern accounting software\n\n Experience with Xero, Sage, IRIS or similar systems would be beneficial, although specific software experience is not essential. \n More importantly, the firm is looking for someone who enjoys dealing with clients, takes ownership of their work and wants to develop into a broader advisory and client management role over time. \n Benefits \n The firm offers a competitive salary and benefits package alongside a genuinely flexible and supportive working environment. \n Benefits include: \n\n • Competitive salary based on experience\n, • Discretionary bonus\n, • Flexible working patterns\n, • Competitive annual leave allowance\n, • Holiday entitlement increasing with length of service\n, • Employee Assistance Programme\n, • Private medical insurance at Management level\n, • Strong opportunities for career progression\n, • Exposure to a high-quality portfolio of owner-managed and family businesses\n, • Broad experience across statutory accounts, management accounts, VAT and tax\n, • Regular interaction with Managers and Partners\n, • Opportunity to build your own client relationships\n, • Supportive environment with a strong emphasis on professional development\n\n \n Company culture \n This is an independent accountancy practice operating from a single Leeds office and offering a full range of accounts, audit, tax and business advisory services. \n One of the firm's biggest attractions is its one-team approach. There is considerably less hierarchy than you might find within a large national or international firm, and employees have direct access to Managers and Partners without multiple layers of management. \n The business has the scale and expertise to provide genuinely varied and technically interesting work, but remains small enough for individuals to be recognised and given responsibility. \n There is also a strong emphasis on staff development. Employees are encouraged to build client relationships, broaden their technical knowledge and progress their careers rather than remaining restricted to one narrow area of work. \n It should particularly appeal to someone who enjoys working with owner-managed businesses, wants greater autonomy and client exposure, and likes the idea of progressing within a respected independent firm rather than a heavily structured corporate environment. \n Please contact Ben Copsey at BC Financial Search or apply for more details.

\n Our client is a full-service UK law firm with a long-established and highly regarded commercial and specialty insurance practice, acting for a recognised roster of insurers, MGAs, brokers and corporate policyholders across the London market and the wider UK.

Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Mission\n At IDEX, we strive for an inclusion-first company culture where everyone is treated fairly and can bring their authentic selves to work. We recognise and acknowledge that diverse representation at every level of our business requires continuous and measurable effort.
