Trainee Bookkeeper

**Role - Junior / Trainee Bookkeeper **Cashroom**

**Our Mission**

At Cashroom, our mission is to free lawyers from the complexities of Legal Accounting

**About Us**

Law firms in England & Wales have the challenge of managing their clients’ money and also the firm’s money. Their procedures for doing so are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) and there are significant consequences on the law firms if the regulations are not applied correctly - that’s where we come in. The Cashroom is an outsourced legal cashiering firm and we provide an expert service, managing these monies on behalf of law firms in accordance with the published regulations. We continue to experience significant business growth with our body of clients growing month on month and we want you to help us deliver that growth in terms of servicing clients, identifying and delivering business efficiencies, and creating the capacity for continued success in the future.

We know that passionate and driven people excel when they’re all pulling in the same direction, which is why we strongly believe in our Cashroom values. These outline what we are, how we do things and where we want to be.

**Teamwork**- We build relationships based on trust, honesty, respect and encouragement, and we have fun

**Loyalty**- We show commitment and foster team spirit by treating each other well and promoting a culture of positivity.

**Desire**- We strive to be ambitious, energetic and determined - never settle for ‘good enough’

**Opportunity**- We develop staff, promote from within and embrace challenges - there’s always something new to learn.

**Innovation**- We are adventurous and creative, and always open-minded - strive for excellence at any level.

**Trust, Care & Respect **- We are open, honest and committed to quality. We trust, care and are respectful to all our colleagues and clients.

If these match your ethos, we think you’ll be a great fit here at The Cashroom.
