Legal Cashier / Accounts Assistant

Legal Cashier / Accounts Assistant

Leicester | £30,000 DOE | Full-time or Part-time | Office Based

I’m working with an established Leicester law firm that is looking to recruit an experienced Legal Cashier / Accounts Assistant to join its finance team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who already has experience working within the accounts function of a law firm and is comfortable with the day-to-day requirements of legal cashiering, client accounts and the SRA Accounts Rules.

The firm is open to considering both full-time (37.5 hours) and part-time applicants, so there is some flexibility around working hours for the right person.

The role

Working closely with the firm’s Partner and COFA, you’ll take responsibility for a broad range of legal accounts duties, including:

• Processing client and office account transactions
• Monitoring incoming client funds
• Client-to-office transfers
• Client and office bank reconciliations
• Processing BACS and CHAPS payments
• Inter-account transfers
• Allocating receipts and payments
• Processing client account cheques
• Purchase ledger and supplier invoices
• Processing bills through the firm’s practice management system
• Land Registry fees, searches and associated payments
• Managing outstanding payments
• Petty cash and reconciliations
• Assisting with month-end procedures
• Supporting the preparation of management accounts
• Maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring compliance with the SRA Accounts Rules

About you

You’ll ideally already be working as a Legal Cashier, Legal Accounts Assistant or in a similar legal finance role.

You’ll need a good working knowledge of the SRA Accounts Rules, along with practical experience of handling client and office accounts, reconciliations and electronic payments.

Experience with TIKIT would be useful, although experience with another legal practice management system will also be considered.

You’ll also need to be organised, accurate and comfortable working in a role where attention to detail really matters.

What’s on offer?

The firm is offering a salary of up to £30,000 depending on experience, alongside a company pension, holiday entitlement, ongoing training and development and a friendly, supportive working environment.

This is an office-based position in Leicester, and both full-time and part-time applications are welcomed.
