– Help to compile daily, weekly, and monthly financial reports for management, gaining experience in financial data presentation

– Assist with year-end accounts and, in time, liaise with external auditors under the direction of your senior colleague

– Learn to identify and escalate any discrepancies or irregularities in financial transactions to your supervisor

Administrative & Support Duties

– Assist in raising and processing invoices, ensuring timely payment and accurate record-keeping

– Liaise with solicitors, clients, banks, and other parties as required, always under appropriate guidance

– Support payroll processing and petty cash management where needed

– Complete file closures in accordance with current firm procedures

– Uphold strict confidentiality and data protection standards at all times
