We are looking for an Accounts Assistant/Legal Cashier

Our small but busy accounts department are looking for someone to work Wednesday, Thursday and Friday on a full-time basis (7 hours/day, 21 hours/week). There may be additional hours in the future.
 
This is a varied role with a focus on delivering timely and accurate transactional work. It’s a high-volume, deadline-driven area subject to regulatory rules, so you’ll need to be able to work well as part of a team
 
You’ll be responsible for:

identification, allocation and processing of a high volume of receipts and payments which come into the firms’ bank accounts;
all related on-line banking receipt and payment processing activities
daily reconciliations of those bank accounts by effective use of our practice management accounting software (Tikit Partner for Windows)
accurately recording all transactions on the accounting systems
general support of the team.

Previous experience as a Legal Cashier/in a law firm is an advantage but not essential – as is an understanding of the principles of the Solicitors Accounts Rules and money laundering regulations.

You’ll have excellent working knowledge of electronic accounting systems and a high degree of IT literacy generally. Experience of, and confidence in, dealing with a high volume of financial transactions, including large transactions, is a must.

In addition to annual leave, occupational sick pay and pension scheme membership, Laceys provides a range of benefits to support your health and wellbeing including our EAP scheme, a healthcare cash plan and bike2work scheme among others. Being based in Bournemouth for a lunchtime walk to the beach also helps. The role is available on a hybrid basis after an initial induction and training period.
