With a strong reputation in their sector and exciting plans to grow significantly over the next 18 months, it's a great time to join and become part of a business that's going places.

This role is an end to end cashiering role, focusing on managing the firm's office account transactions, covering everything from supplier invoices and disbursements to expenses, reconciliations, and credit card activity. You'll work closely with the Senior Legal Cashier and the Head of Finance and will be part of a small, experienced finance team where high standards, attention to detail, and strong internal processes are key to day-to-day success.

While there's room to expand your skills over time, the business is also looking for someone who sees long-term value in this role and enjoys the structure and responsibility that come with it.

  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday off
  • 35 hour week
  • Hybrid working, 3 days in the office, 2 at home
  • Part time hours if required
  • Bonus scheme and salary reviews
  • Death in service benefit
  • Health and wellbeing support
  • Friendly, people-first culture with regular team events
  • NCP parking

What you'll be doing:

  • Processing client and office account transactions, including supplier invoices and disbursements
  • Entering transactions accurately into the finance system and ensuring they are coded and allocated correctly
  • Assisting with the processing of weekly and ad hoc payment runs
  • Reconciling supplier statements and resolving any discrepancies or outstanding items in a timely and professional manner
  • Ensuring full compliance with Solicitor Accounts Rules (SAR), VAT regulations, and internal financial controls
  • Bank reconciliations
  • Carrying out compliance checks
  • Calculating client interest
  • Maintaining accurate and up-to-date records, including setting up new suppliers and updating existing details
  • Assisting with the credit control process
  • Supporting with the billing process and assisting with audits
  • Managing petty cash balances and firm credit cards, including posting transactions, reviewing receipts, and ensuring appropriate approvals are in place

What we're looking for:

  • Experience in a legal cashiering role
  • Good working knowledge of Solicitor Accounts Rules and VAT requirements
  • A high level of accuracy, attention to detail, and organisational skills
  • Clear and confident communicator who works well with internal colleagues and external suppliers
  • A proactive mindset with the ability to manage and prioritise your own workload

If you enjoy working in a well-structured finance function, take pride in accurate, well-maintained ledgers, and are looking for a long-term role within a supportive and ambitious business, we'd love to hear from you.
