Job Title: Legal Accounts Assistant
Salary: £44,000
Location: Central London – Liverpool Street
Our client, a US law firm, is seeking an accounts assistant to join their expanding accounts team. It is essential that you have previously worked in another law firm as a legal cashier / legal accounts assistant (around 12-18 months’ experience) and possess knowledge of SRA rules.
Expected duties include:
-
Processing expenses.
-
Updating purchase ledger.
-
Processing transactions.
-
Reconciling vendor and supplier ledgers and statements.
-
Liaising with fee-earners and managements regarding payments.
-
Ad hoc project work and other duties.
This is an ideal opportunity to join a successful practice and take on a varied position. They are prepared to mentor someone that has not undertaken all the expected duties, and in fact want to take someone on who is motivated and over time can take on new responsibilities. This would also suit someone from a regional law firm looking to progress into a city firm. Hybrid working is available, but you will be required to work in the office until you are fully up and running.
