Legal Cashier

We are looking to recruit an Assistant Legal Cashier for an exciting permanent opportunity with a well-regarded law firm based in Chatham.

The position will suit those relatively new to legal finance, who would like to understand more about the role of a legal cashier and advance their career.

If you are looking for a legal firm that can offer the breadth of activities necessary to help you grow, to enhance your skills and experience and to be supported rather than constrained, then look no further. The role will offer the successful candidate internal and external training in bookkeeping for legal finance professionals as well as legal finance compliance and the Solicitors Accounts Rules.

They are ideally looking for a candidate qualified to degree level and with some experience with Sage, comfortable with the framework of basic accounting and purchase ledger functions.

Initially the role will be hybrid, supporting their existing Legal Cashier as required and whilst a period of internal and external training is completed. You will be responsible for daily bank reconciliation for their Office and Client accounts, as well as raising and posting payments to and from the accounts each day.

In time the successful candidate will be expected to assume greater responsibility, to include assisting with payroll, month end/year end process, VAT and PAYE returns. Ultimately the successful candidate will become the firm’s leading Legal Cashier when the current Cashier retires in 2-3 years’ time.

The ideal candidate will be expected to demonstrate the following:

• A self-motivator who is trustworthy and reliable
• Be ambitious and driven
• Be organised, confident, and have the ability to prioritise
• Analytical thinker and problem solver with a ‘can-do’ attitude
• Competent IT skills, particularly proficient with spreadsheet software

An attractive salary and benefits package and excellent career progression are on offer to the successful individual.
