Junior finance assistant

Lawgent is looking for an ambitious and commercially minded individual who wants to combine finance, client responsibility and business development in a role with significant independence.

This is not a traditional Finance Assistant position focused solely on bookkeeping and administration.

At Lawgent, financial responsibility goes hand in hand with commercial responsibility. You will work with our financial operations while also managing your own clients, developing client relationships and contributing directly to revenue generation.

About the Role

As a Junior Finance & Business Associate, you will work across both finance and commercial operations.

You will gradually take responsibility for your own portfolio of clients and will be expected to independently develop those relationships and create measurable business value.

Your responsibilities will include:

How We Work

Lawgent operates on a principle of freedom with responsibility.

We do not believe in managers constantly monitoring whether employees are sitting at their desks between 08:00 and 17:00 or checking every individual task they complete.

We measure results.

You will therefore have considerable freedom, but that freedom comes with responsibility.

You are expected to:

We want people who can take ownership of their own performance and success without requiring constant supervision.

Compensation Model

We want to be completely transparent before you apply.

During the first three months, this position does not include a guaranteed fixed base salary.

Instead, we operate a performance-based compensation model where you receive 8% commission on the business value generated from the clients and business you are responsible for, in accordance with our compensation model.

Following the initial three-month period, there is an opportunity to discuss a combination of fixed salary and commission, based on performance, results and the sustainable business value you have built.

This model is not for everyone, and we respect that.

If you are looking for a traditional position with a guaranteed fixed salary from day one, this opportunity is probably not the right fit.

If you are motivated by ownership, independence and the opportunity to directly influence your responsibilities, development and compensation, we would like to hear from you.

Who We Are Looking For

You may have a background in accounting, finance, economics or business.

More importantly, you:

Previous experience in finance, accounting, sales or client management is an advantage, but not necessarily required.

What We Offer

You will work closely with management and gain significantly broader commercial exposure than in a traditional junior finance position.

You will gain experience across finance, client management, sales, AI, automation and business development while progressively taking greater responsibility.

For the right person, the role can develop towards positions such as:

Finance Manager, Controller, Business Controller, Account Manager or CFO.

About Lawgent

Lawgent is an international legal and business advisory firm combining legal expertise, AI, regulatory compliance and commercial strategy.

We are building an organization where people are given significant freedom and responsibility, and where performance, client value and commercial results matter more than hours spent behind a desk.

Please read the compensation model carefully before applying.

If this model fits how you want to work and you are interested in combining finance with commercial responsibility, we would be interested in hearing from you.
