Consultant - Legal Finance & Accounting
Roles I Recruit
I work within the Legal Finance Team and recruit for mid to senior level roles. These include but are not limited to: Analysts, Accountants, Controllers and Managers.
My background
I joined Ambition with 6 months experience in Professional Services recruitment where I specialised in Analyst & Managers. I started my career in recruitment because it allows me to take initiative of my career and enables me to build the future, I’ve always wanted :)
Outside of work
When I’m not working, I’m usually spending my time on my small business or at the gym. I’m also obsessed with travelling and trying to tick off all of Europe this year!
What candidates and clients are saying

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work alongside during this whole process. By far the best recruiter and company I’ve worked with. Ummara goes way beyond the expectations of a recruiter and sets the bar unbelievably high. From the first point of contact, all the way through to being offered the role you might have not have even thought to have gone for in the first place, Ummara's enthusiasm and willingness to help as much as possible gives you that extra push you might need to take the next step. I can’t thank her enough for all of her efforts over the past month or so!

Overall, she was a great pleasure to work with in securing this exciting opportunity.

Ummara recently helped me secure a Finance Business Analyst role within Baker McKenzie’s finance department. She ensured to keep me updated at every stage of the recruitment process, was very diligent and a pleasure to work with. Thank you Ummara for all your help!
