Good accounting is more than entering numbers. It’s knowing when something doesn’t look right.

You know accounting. You catch the things others miss. And you take pride in knowing the numbers are right.

We’re looking for an experienced accounting professional to join our team in a senior accounting role supporting the financial operations of a busy London law firm.

We are a well-established London law firm seeking an experienced Senior Accounting Clerk to join our administrative team.

This is a key accounting position for an experienced professional who is confident working independently, has strong attention to detail, and takes ownership of the accuracy and integrity of their work.

We are looking for someone who can step into the role with a strong accounting foundation and require minimal day-to-day supervision.

This is an in office role and therefore requires you to be within commuting distance to downtown London – (50 km or less).
