    Accounts Assistant - Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom - Knights

    Default job background
    Description

    Job Description

    We have always done things differently at Knights; some 11 years ago we were the first organisation of our type in the UK legal sector to attract private equity investment, enabling us to move from the traditional partnership model to a corporate structure, creating a clear separation between management/ownership and fee earners.

    The success of our model was reflected in very attractive growth over the following 6 years and since our listing on the AIM market in June 2018, we have reported year on year growth.

    Now with over 1500 colleagues across 23 locations our strong organic growth, combined with several high-quality recent acquisitions in Newcastle, Bristol, Brighton, and Portsmouth means we are now a more diversified business with strengthened positions in our key target markets. We have the team and financial resources in place to deliver our organic and acquisitive growth strategy as we scale up to be the leading legal and professional services business outside London.

    Our business model and culture remain a clear differentiator from many legal services businesses enabling us to recruit individuals who wish to work as 'one team', in a modern professional services business.

    We are now seeking a talented individual to join our busy finance team.

    We will provide you with first class training to equip you with the skills you will need to succeed in this role which will involve (but is not exclusive to) the following tasks:

    • Processing numerous financial transactions on client matters
    • Posting payments/receipts and transfers in a timely and accurate manner
    • Setting up Cheques, BACS and TT payments on online banking platforms
    • Allocating funds received into the bank account
    • Ensuring that all client account payments are compliant with company policy
    • Dealing with fee earner queries and helping to resolve issues
    • Ensuring compliance with the Solicitors Accounts Rules and AML rules
    • Assisting with bank reconciliations as required
    • Completing ad hoc duties

    Skills and Experience

    The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate the following skills:

    • Experience of working in an office and/or accounts team
    • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
    • Education to GCSE with good numerical skills
    • Ability to work under pressure and to meet deadlines
    • Accuracy and attention to detail
    • Demonstrate Microsoft/Excel skills

    Key Attributes

    • Attention to detail
    • Eager to learn
    • Good organisational/time management skills
    • Ability to work on own initiative and as part of a busy, fast paced team proactively assisting colleagues in their roles as well as completing own tasks
    • Able to build good working relationships
    • Ability to work to tight deadlines

    We offer a unique environment; you will be part of a one team culture that promotes direct responsibility with an expectation to always deliver the best service possible for clients within a collegiate, team-based environment.

    Most excitingly of all, you can help change the way we all think about and deliver the future of legal and professional services in a friendly, caring business, with little (if any) hierarchy. Our culture of positivity and transparency, provides a great platform for the right people to take their careers to the next level.
