Legal Cashier

An international law firm is seeking an experienced Legal Cashier to join its expanding Finance team. The finance function plays a critical role in supporting the firm's strategy and operations across multiple jurisdictions and is regarded as a core part of the business rather than a traditional support service.

• Taking client card payments and processing them securely through online payment terminals
• Calculating client account interest, using both automated systems and manual methods where required
• Handling foreign currency transactions and related banking processes
• Acting as a first point of contact for ad hoc cashiering queries from partners, associates, and support teams
• Liaising with banking institutions to resolve operational and transactional queries
• Opening, closing, and maintaining joint accounts in accordance with procedures
• Overseeing cashiering transactions for international offices alongside London operations

You will work as part of a wider cashiering team and will be supervised day-to-day by the Cashiers Team Leader.

Experience

• Proven legal cashiering experience within a law firm
• Strong knowledge of the SRA Accounts Rules
