Legal Cashier

A well-established, forward-thinking law firm, our partner offers a full range of legal services to clients across the UK. They pride themselves on our client-focused approach and commitment to high professional standards whilst at the same time developing a work culture where everyone feels welcome.

Due to continued growth, we are now seeking a detail-oriented Legal Cashier to join their finance team.

Role Overview:

As a Legal Cashier, you will be responsible for handling the day-to-day financial transactions of the firm, ensuring compliance with the SRA Accounts Rules and maintaining accurate financial records. You will play a key role in supporting the finance team and wider practice with all cash handling and accounting procedures.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Processing client and office account transactions accurately and in a timely manner
  • Bank reconciliations and daily banking
  • Posting incoming and outgoing payments
  • Ensuring compliance with Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Accounts Rules
  • Handling purchase ledger, including invoice processing and payments
  • Liaising with fee earners and other departments regarding financial queries
  • Month-end and year-end financial tasks, including reporting and reconciliations
  • Supporting the preparation for audits and regulatory reviews

As the right person, you have Proven experience in an accounting function, preferably within a law firm but not essential, and have excellent numeracy and attention to detail. A good working knowledge of legal accounting software, such as LEAP, would be helpful but all training will provided. You are organised, able to prioritise tasks and you are a strong team player.

You enjoy working in an ever evolving (and slightly chaotic) work environment with a team of people that take their jobs seriously but enjoy a laugh and work hard to make the company a place people want to work at.

This is a Monday to 9am – 5pm full time role, but our partner will consider a job share of two suitable part-time applicants apply. You can also work from home up to 4 days per week, but will be expected to work from the office every Tuesday and attend occasional all staff meetings and training on other days of the week.

What Our Partner Offers:

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • 24 days holiday plus bank holidays, plus the office is closed for 10 days over Christmas and New Year.
  • Pension scheme, Life Insurance, Income Protection and Critical Illness Cover.
  • Opportunities for career development and training
  • Friendly and supportive working environment
