Up to £33K depending on experience

This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced Legal Cashier who enjoys the structure, accuracy, and responsibility that comes with managing office accounts and purchase ledger work.

You'll join a high-performing and supportive finance team where your day-to-day will be focused around maintaining the integrity of the firm’s office account transactions - including supplier invoices, expenses, disbursements, and reconciliations. If you're someone who thrives on accuracy, likes working through complex queries, and understands the importance of clean, well-maintained ledgers, this role will tick a lot of boxes.

The core focus of this role is office account and purchase ledger work. You’ll be responsible for processing high volumes of office-related transactions across multiple currencies and jurisdictions, ensuring compliance with internal controls, VAT rules, and SRA regulations. You’ll also play a key part in maintaining accurate records, managing supplier relationships, and supporting the wider finance function as needed.

This is a hands-on role, perfect for someone who enjoys owning a process from start to finish and understands the impact that strong purchase ledger control has on the wider business.

What’s in it for you -

• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, rising to 32 days with service
• Charity and giving back days
• Regular salary reviews
• Bonus scheme
• Personal development and detailed training plans
• Chance to secure a more senior role if you mentored people previously
• Wellbeing events and a people-first environment
• Regular social events

The Role -

• Processing UK and international office account invoices, disbursements, expenses, and travel costs - both manually and via system uploads
• Ensuring suppliers are paid to agreed terms, statements are reconciled, and any discrepancies are resolved promptly
• Setting up and maintaining supplier accounts in the finance system
• Investigating and resolving supplier queries, chasing outstanding items, and communicating clearly with internal teams
• Managing petty cash and firm credit card balances, including accurate reconciliation and posting
• Supporting the preparation of financial data, reports, and reconciliations as required
• Assisting with internal audits and ensuring compliance with SRA Accounts Rules and VAT regulations
• Supporting junior members of the team and working closely with the Team Leader on process improvements

What we’re looking for -

• Substantial experience working in a legal cashiering or purchase ledger role within a law firm
• Strong working knowledge of SRA Accounts Rules, VAT compliance, and multi-currency processing
• Confident managing a busy ledger, with strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• A clear communicator who works well with suppliers, stakeholders, and colleagues at all levels
• Someone proactive and solutions-focused, with the ability to manage their own workload and contribute to the wider success of the team

If you’re looking for a role where purchase ledger and office accounts are the core focus - and where you’ll be supported, challenged, and valued - we would love to speak with you.
