Senior Legal Cashier
If you’re an experienced Legal Cashier who knows the Solicitors’ Accounts Rules inside out, but you’re ready for a role with a bit more responsibility, this could be worth a conversation.
This isn’t simply a case of processing transactions and reconciling bank accounts.
You’ll work closely with the Finance Manager, help oversee the day-to-day running of the cashiering function and become a key point of contact for the wider firm when it comes to accounts, processes and compliance.
You’ll also step up and keep things moving when the Finance Manager isn’t around.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴?
You’ll oversee the day-to-day activities of the accounts team, making sure daily, monthly and quarterly tasks are completed accurately and on time.
You’ll manage office and client accounts in accordance with the Solicitors’ Accounts Rules, including daily bank reconciliations, and ensure the firm’s ledgers and financial records are accurate and up to date.
Compliance is naturally a big part of the role. You’ll help make sure the firm continues to meet its regulatory obligations and identify and escalate any potential issues.
Alongside the core cashiering work, you’ll support the Finance Manager with:
• Monthly and year-end accounts
• Budgeting and management information
• Credit control and overdue accounts
• WIP management
• Supplier payments and purchase ledger
• Financial reporting
• Developing and improving finance processes
You’ll also be someone the wider team can turn to, whether that’s answering an accounts query, helping a colleague understand a process or supporting other members of the cashiering team.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿?
You’ll need experience working within legal accounts and a strong working knowledge of the Solicitors’ Accounts Rules.
Just as importantly, you’ll be comfortable taking ownership.
You don’t necessarily need to be a Finance Manager already, but you should be at the stage where you’re happy supervising others, answering the more complicated queries and taking responsibility for the finance function when required.
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁?
It’s a senior, trusted position within an established firm where finance is viewed as an important part of the business rather than simply a back-office function.
You’ll have the opportunity to work closely with the Finance Manager, broaden your exposure to management accounts, budgeting and reporting, and play a genuine part in how the finance team operates.
So, if you’re an experienced Legal Cashier looking for that next step – without necessarily wanting to jump straight into a full Finance Manager position – this could be a very good move.
You’ll also be offered an annual salary of up to £38k (depending on experience).
