Approach
With over seven years of experience as a Senior Legal Cashier, I have consistently approached my work with precision, integrity, and a strong sense of professional responsibility.
I fully understand the critical importance of maintaining compliance with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Accounts Rules and remain committed to upholding the highest standards of accuracy and confidentiality in all financial transactions.
Attention to detail, efficiency, and consistency are fundamental to my approach, particularly when managing client monies, bank reconciliations, and ledger postings. Beyond these core responsibilities, I actively support the wider legal team by ensuring financial procedures are followed correctly and that client funds are handled with the utmost care and transparency.
Meeting deadlines, adhering to compliance requirements, and supporting the firm’s smooth financial operation are priorities I take seriously. I pride myself on being a dependable and proactive team member who anticipates needs and delivers consistently.
