Join a team where your attention to detail and organisational skills truly make a difference.

 

About the Role:

We’re looking for an enthusiastic Accounts Assistant to support our busy Accounts Department. You’ll play a key role in maintaining accurate financial records, supporting daily banking processes, and ensuring seamless client transactions — all while adhering to the companies policies and procedures.

 

🔑 Key Responsibilities:

 • Accurately allocate client receipts (cheques, cash, transfers) and manage bank reconciliations.

 • Handle daily bank downloads, CHAPS payments, and client fund transfers using NatWest Bankline.

 • Open and manage client deposit accounts, ensuring accurate interest payments.

 • Maintain and update client records, ensuring compliance with regulations.

 • Produce and process cheques, manage purchase ledger invoices, and assist with nominal account allocations.

 • Liaise with banks, clients, and external businesses, maintaining a professional and friendly approach.

 • Conduct bank reconciliations every five weeks and assist with financial queries from fee earners.

 

👀 What We’re Looking For:

 • Strong numeracy skills with excellent attention to detail.

 • Previous experience in an accounts or finance role (legal sector experience is a bonus but not essential).

 • Ability to work independently and manage workload peaks with confidence.

 • A collaborative team player who communicates effectively and thrives in a fast-paced environment.

 • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (especially Excel) and experience with banking platforms is advantageous.

 

💼 Why Join Us?

 • Be part of a supportive and friendly team.

 • Gain hands-on experience in a reputable and well-structured accounts department.

 • Opportunities for personal growth and skill development.
