Finance Assistant.

Looking for a varied finance role with prospects to build on your experience to date?  We're working exclusively with a friendly law firm in Leeds who are looking to recruit a Finance Assistant to join their close-knit team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with an accounts background who enjoys variety and is keen to develop within a specialist legal environment. Previous legal cashiering experience would be an advantage but is not essential but it will be something you are trained up on to support the current Legal Cashier when absent. This is a role that would suit an experienced Accounts Assistant or someone early in their career looking to build on their knowledge. Working alongside experienced colleagues, you'll support a broad range of finance activities.

You'll be involved in:

• Purchase ledger and reconciliations
• Staff expenses and company credit cards
• VAT preparation
• Journals and year-end support
• Liaising with external accountants
• Supporting legal cashiering
• Client account reconciliations
• Developing knowledge of specialist Court of Protection finance

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• Previous accounts or finance experience
• Knowledge of SRA is advantageous but not essential
• Excellent attention to detail
• A proactive and organised approach
• Strong communication skills
• The desire to learn and develop

In return you'll join a genuinely friendly, down-to-earth team in a supportive environment. You'll have the opportunity to build a long-term career within a highly respected specialist firm.

Salary: £27,000 - £32,000 per annum (depending on experience) plus a good benefits package
