Legal Accounts Assistant

• Are you looking for the next step in your finance career, or even to kickstart your career within the legal finance sector?
• Are you interested in joining an experienced finance team who embrace the latest technology, so you can gain exposure to a variety of finance systems?
• Do you want to join a national group of leading regional law firms, dedicated to delivering comprehensive legal support and committed to ambitious growth?
• Do you like the sound of a highly competitive benefits package, hybrid working opportunities, social events and much more?

Clients are at the heart of everything we do, and we pride ourselves on our professional approach to handling their accounts. This role will give you the opportunity to undertake good quality work and develop your career within a highly reputable legal practice. Some experience within a legal finance setting will be an advantage, however full training will also be provided. We’re also open to individuals wanting to work part-time, minimum 21 hours per week.

Our friendly Maidstone-based team is led by Phil Hayward and currently consists of 15 individuals; 8 on the Legal Accounts team, 4 on the Revenue team and 2 on the Accountant team. You will be reporting to the Legal Accounts Manager, but expected to work in a team, alongside similarly experienced colleagues, as well as the highly experienced and qualified members of the team.

You must be able to demonstrate strong numeracy skills, with a natural aptitude for working with numbers. You will be regularly communicating with colleagues in the wider firm and so you must be willing to go above and beyond, to contribute and collaborate to ensure the success of the team. Strong IT literacy and the ability to prioritise your workload effectively are also desired.
