Accounts assistant

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to work as part of our small but growing Accounts team.

The accounts assistant is essential in ensuring the firm’s financial processes run smoothly and comply with legal and professional standards. This role involves managing both office and client account ledgers, processing daily financial transactions, and maintaining accurate records to support the firm’s financial integrity. From reconciling bank statements and handling client payments to managing supplier invoices and staff expenses, you’ll oversee a broad range of financial activities that are vital to the business.

Working closely with the accounts manager and finance director, you’ll support ad hoc projects, respond to internal and external queries, and ensure the firm’s financial systems remain efficient and compliant. This is a dynamic role requiring strong attention to detail, excellent organisational skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities. If you enjoy working in a professional environment and contributing to the financial success of a team, this role offers both variety and purpose.

Key tasks and responsibilities will include:

• Ensure accurate and timely reconciliation of client and office accounts, including processing daily transactions and banking duties.
• Verify and process payments securely, including BACS and Telegraphic Transfers, in coordination with fee earners and partners.
• Handle supplier invoices, prepare payment runs, and process petty cash and staff expenses.
• Maintain up-to-date records for client matters, including closing files, writing off time, and calculating interest payments when requested.
• Assist with financial reporting, partner credit card statements, and ad hoc projects led by senior finance staff.

Skills and experience:

• Prior experience in accounts, preferably within a law firm, is highly desirable.
• Strong numeracy skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently.
• Professional and courteous communication skills.
• Quick to learn new systems, including practice management software and banking portals.
• Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy, ensuring correct ledger postings and clear documentation.
• A professional attitude suited to a respected service-oriented firm.
