Legal Cashier

Trial Balance; Exeter; On-site; GBP 10,000 - 40,000; Full time

Job description

Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to have formed an exclusive recruitment partnership with a highly reputable, fast growing, and modern law firm who seek to recruit an experienced Legal Cashier to join their sizeable finance function.

Please note: Previous experience gained within a law firm or knowledge of Solicitors Accounts Rules is not a prerequisite for candidates wishing to apply.

Reporting to and working closely with an extremely experienced and friendly Director of Finance, the successful candidate will play a key role in the firm's accounting department; liaising regularly with partners and colleagues across the business, as well as with clients, suppliers, and other external stakeholders. This is a broad opportunity that would be perfectly suited to an experienced Legal Cashier hoping to move to a larger firm, or an experienced Assistant Accountant seeking experience gained within a modern-thinking professional services environment.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Administer multiple online banking transactions with accompanying documentation and record transactions using accounting software.
2. Process BACS, CHAPS, and transfers in multiple currencies.
3. Daily reconciliations on multiple accounts including client accounts.
4. Record accounts payable and receivable transactions including taking card payments from customers.
5. Amend and create standing orders.
6. General upkeep and performance improvements to the accounting systems and processes.
7. Management of general accounting functions; sales and purchase ledger, credit control, monthly management accounts, variance reports, and bank reconciliations.
8. Statutory reporting to include VAT, corporate tax returns, and payroll data.
9. Present summarised financial information to the senior management team.
10. Assist with annual audit preparation.

What We’re Looking For:

There is no box ticking exercise with this employer. Personal qualities are equally measured against technical competencies. They require an experienced Assistant Accountant, either part/fully AAT qualified or qualified by vocational experience, ideally (though not essentially) with a professional services background and knowledge of Solicitors Accounts Rules. Most importantly, they seek to employ staff that want to see their careers develop on a one-way conveyor belt because with divisions across the world, there will probably never be a need to look elsewhere. If you’re a hardworking, tenacious, and commercially astute individual, always seeking to challenge, repair, and implement better ways of working, we want to hear from you.

It’s not just career development on offer here either. The company offers exceptional financial benefits, impressive modern premises, and the opportunity to work with a friendly, highly experienced team.
