Legal Cashier

🚕 Are you keen to work somewhere that’s stimulating and friendly, with loads of opportunities for growth and plenty of freedom to make a real impact? This could be the place for you!

We are looking for a Legal Cashier to join us at INSHUR! We’re based in sunny Brighton ☀️ (sea 🌊, chips 🍟, and seagulls 🕊️ included), and our company embraces a hybrid working model, allowing you to thrive in both collaborative office settings and the comfort of your own home 🏠. You’ll have the opportunity to work remotely while also connecting with your colleagues at our Brighton office at least once a week, fostering a dynamic and supportive environment.

Supported by (and reporting to) the Practice Manager, you'll be joining a friendly team of 6. 

We value high performance and care deeply about making INSHUR a place where everyone is building something special, that we can all be proud of, while enjoying the ride.

What you'll do

As the Legal Cashier you will play a key part in ensuring the smooth financial operation of the firm, maintaining compliance with SRA regulations, and supporting the efficient running of the legal practice. Your responsibilities will contribute to the firm’s day-to-day financial processes, helping to improve efficiency and uphold high compliance standards.

You’ll be working on:

• Process and auto-reconcile Client and Office accounts in compliance with SRA and VAT regulations.
• Ensure accurate and efficient handling of client receipts, payments, billing, supplier and nominal ledgers, and completion pack checks.
• Oversee daily financial workflows, ensuring all processes are followed correctly.
• Generate and manage financial and accounts reports as required.
• Administer the online banking system and manage cash flow.
• Ensure full compliance with SRA Accounts Rules and advise the COFA on regulatory matters.
• Conduct regular audits and reconciliations of client accounts to prevent breaches.
• Prepare and manage monthly and annual financial reports for internal and external reporting.

 🎯 While we prioritise aptitude and passion over a strict checklist of requirements, we've outlined a core set of skills we believe will lead to success in this role. To make things clear, we’ve categorised them into “essentials to thrive in the role” and “additional skills that could set you apart”

We'd love to hear from you if you have

…these essentials to thrive in the role; 

• AAT or similar qualification preferred.
• Experience handling daily accounting tasks, including purchase ledger, client account reconciliations, transfers, disbursements, recharges, expenses, and VAT.
• Experience managing WIP, billing, and credit control.
• Knowledge of cashflows, trial balances, management accounts, and report analysis (ideal but not essential).
• Previous UK legal finance experience with an understanding of legal terminology.
• Strong knowledge of SRA Accounts Rules to ensure compliance.
• Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines, particularly during month-end and year-end processes.

You’ll love it here if you:

🚀 Enjoy in a fast-paced environment where change happens quickly.

🔧 Are solutions-focused and driven to overcome challenges.

📝 Feel most comfortable when tasks and processes are clearly defined from the start.

🤔 Struggle with handling multiple challenges at once or adapting to frequent changes.

First Interview: 45-60 minute video call with the Practice Manager and People team to delve into the role, including role and team fit questions.
