Finance Administrator

Build on your finance administration skills within a professional services environment, supporting a team responsible for billing, payments, reconciliations and financial reporting. You'll work closely with colleagues to ensure financial processes run efficiently while developing your knowledge of specialist accounting systems. Experience within legal services would be an advantage.

Duties for this role include, but are not limited to:

• Process incoming cash receipts, ensuring payment information is accurate and complete.
• Assist with bank reconciliations, investigating discrepancies and escalating unresolved items.
• Process supplier invoices and staff expenses accurately and efficiently.
• Support scheduled BACS payment runs and approved ad hoc payments.
• Enter electronic payments into banking systems for review and authorisation.
• Assist with preparing client invoices and responding to routine billing enquiries.
• Maintain accurate financial records within the practice management system.
• Prepare standard work-in-progress and debtor reports for internal teams.
• Process corporate credit card transactions and reconcile statements and receipts.
• Respond to Finance Helpdesk enquiries, escalating more complex matters where required.
• Support the Property team with financial administration relating to property transactions.
• Assist with client account administration in accordance with relevant regulatory and professional requirements.
• Follow established financial procedures and identify opportunities for process improvements.
• Provide administrative support and absence cover for colleagues within the Finance team.
• Assist with wider departmental projects and general finance administration as required.

Skills / Qualifications

The ideal candidate will have a basic understanding of accounting principles and a genuine interest in developing their finance knowledge, which is essential for this role. Ideally, you'll have at least 3 years' experience in a similar finance administration position, covering accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, reconciliations and other routine finance processes, although this is desirable rather than essential. Previous experience using Aderant and working within legal services would be advantageous. You'll have strong organisational skills, excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities accurately while meeting deadlines. Good communication skills and proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook are important, alongside a positive, adaptable and collaborative approach to work.
