Key responsibilities include:

• Managing the Senior Partner's diary, scheduling meetings and coordinating appointments
• Acting as the first point of contact for clients by telephone and email, handling enquiries professionally and confidentially
• Preparing, formatting and proofreading correspondence, reports and other business documents
• Coordinating statutory filing deadlines, including company accounts and tax returns, and chasing outstanding information from clients
• Managing engagement letters, client onboarding documentation and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance processes
• Maintaining accurate client records using the firm's practice management system
• Organising meetings, preparing agendas, taking minutes and following up on actions
• Supporting billing administration, handling incoming post and general office administration
• Assisting with practice improvement projects and providing wider administrative support as required

• Excellent organisational and time management skills with the ability to prioritise competing deadlines
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a professional and confident telephone manner
• A high level of discretion when handling confidential client and financial information
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, including Outlook, Word and Excel
• The ability to work independently whilst also supporting a collaborative team
