Divisional Manager - Legal Finance & Accounting
Roles I Recruit
I manage the London Legal Accounts & Finance team, specialising in the recruitment of all contract and permanent roles from entry level positions to CFOs. We take great pride in our professional, consultative approach and manage the recruitment processes for Top 100 Law Firms in London, including Magic Circle Law Firms. Our Consultants are experts in the Legal sector and are able to offer market insights and analysis on trends.
My Background
I recently joined Ambition with over 18 years recruitment experience, 16 of which have been within the Accountancy and Finance sector. As a Graduate in HR, I started my recruitment career back in 2006 and have never looked back. I am passionate about recruitment and endeavour to build long standing partnerships with clients and candidates.
Outside of work
I love to travel and have been fortunate to visit many countries, however, since Covid, I am determined to explore more of the UK. I also have two children who keep me busy with various activities on the weekends.

I had the pleasure of working with Reena when I contacted Ambition whilst recently looking for new employment. Reena is very approachable, friendly, and extremely professional in her role as consultant. From the very beginning Reena listened. We spoke at length about my experience and the sort of roles I was looking for. Reena is very easy to talk with and we quickly built a good rapport. When potential roles came in, Reena would always let me know and ask if I would like to be considered for them. She would always follow up with guidance and interview techniques before any interviews took place and everything was done to make me feel at ease with the whole process. Reena was in constant contact throughout the interview periods giving updates as soon as they were received. I always felt confident that Reena would find the job I was looking for and she did. I would, without doubt recommend Reena should you ever seek new employment.

I have worked with dozens of recruiters across several countries in the last 15 years, so I am confident when I say Reena is on top of her game! She is one of a handful of recruiters that can actually deliver what she promises. She listens to what you need and takes on board all your requirements and then actions them. Reena is also very personable and a pleasure to work with. She actually cares about the people she works with and takes the time to get to know you. I would be happy to work with her again!!
