Reed Accountancy are working with a well-established and highly regarded legal firm in Maidenhead, who are looking to bring in a Legal Cashier or Accounts Assistant to join their finance team.

This is a full-time, office-based role (9:00am – 5:30pm) and sits within a friendly, stable team that has a great track record of staff retention.

The role itself is varied and hands-on. You’ll be responsible for:

• Processing client transactions across CHAPS, BACS, faster payments and cheques  
• Preparing payments and ensuring funding is in place [
• Allocating incoming funds and managing multiple bank accounts
• Completing bank reconciliations and maintaining accurate records
• Responding to queries from legal teams and banks via phone and email
• Ensuring compliance with SRA Accounts Rules, AML and GDPR
• Supporting the wider finance team and gaining exposure to other areas such as invoicing and purchase ledger

It’s a fast-paced environment where things need to be completed accurately and to daily deadlines, so organisation and attention to detail are key.

In terms of background, they’d ideally like to see:

• Previous legal cashiering experience (ideally 2–5 years)
• Or experience within a transactional finance role (AP/AR/accounts assistant)
• Exposure to payments, reconciliations or banking processes
• Strong attention to detail and communication skills
• Someone who is reliable, team-oriented and keen to learn  

Full training is provided, so this could suit someone looking to move into the legal sector or further specialise.

If you’re looking for a role where you can either continue your career in legal cashiering or move into something more specialised from a broader accounts background, this is a great opportunity to do so within a supportive team.
