This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced accounts manager or legal accounts professional to join a supportive and down-to-earth firm where collaboration and culture are genuinely valued. The role offers flexibility in both hours (3–5 days per week) and level, making it ideal for someone looking to step into a managerial position or continue developing within a legal accounts function.

The Role As an accounts manager, you’ll work closely alongside two experienced legal cashiers/accounts assistants, supporting the day-to-day running of the accounts function. Depending on your experience, you may also take on more oversight and managerial responsibilities.

  • Processing transactions, including receipts, payments, and transfers
  • Handling legal billing and supporting fee earners with billing processes
  • Performing bank reconciliations and maintaining accurate financial records
  • Overseeing or assisting with credit control, ensuring timely collection of outstanding invoices
  • Supporting compliance and audit requirements
  • Potentially supervising or mentoring junior team members (depending on level)
About You We’re looking for an accounts manager who:

  • Has previous experience within a legal accounts or legal cashiering role (or within a professional services environment)
  • Has a strong understanding of Solicitors Accounts Rules (SAR), or willingness to learn this quickly
  • Is confident with legal billing processes
  • Has experience in credit control
  • Is organised, detail-oriented, and able to work collaboratively
  • Brings a positive, team-focused attitude
  • Has access to a car due to the office location
The Firm This is a small, boutique property law firm known for its personable and supportive culture. The team is tight-knit, approachable, and genuinely enjoys working together.

What’s on Offer
  • Salary circa £40,000 (depending on experience)
  • Flexible working – full-time or part-time (3–5 days)
  • Hybrid working options
  • A genuinely supportive and friendly team environment
  • Opportunity to shape your role depending on experience level
