Accounts Assistant (Legal)

Salary: £26,000 per year

The Company
Able Bridge Recruitment are delighted to be working with a leading legal firm based in the heart of Edinburgh City Centre. Due to the evolution of the business, we have been invited to support them in the recruitment of a finance assistant. The role will be reporting into the head of the department and will be responsible for various accounting tasks within a busy environment.

The Responsibilities
This role will be a varied and interesting post which will cover several key duties within the finance department. The lion share of the role will firstly cover the credit control duties. You will be expected to contact clients to ensure that invoices have been received and advise them on the payment terms of the invoice. If issues arise with supplier accounts, you will be required to resolve these to ensure prompt payments.

The second aspect of the role is to work with the cashier teams and ensure client accounts are correctly maintained and that money is allocated appropriately. Whilst this is a smaller part of the role, it is not less important!

The Requirements
We are seeking an experienced accounts assistant who has experience of working within a law firm. Candidates will be required to understand the intricacies of the legal cash department and the SOLAS rules that they are governed by. Candidates will also need to have experience of working in a credit control capacity, although this experience does not need to be specifically within a legal environment.

If you are interested in hearing more detail about this role or would like to have a confidential chat about a potential career move, please do not hesitate in contacting me.

The COVID pandemic is changing rapidly at the moment and the clients that I represent will always work within the Scottish government guidelines. When restriction are relaxed, our client is expecting the successful applicant to be based in the office Monday to Friday 09.00 – 17.30.
