Job Description
Astrum Search is exclusively supporting a global law firm to recruit a Client Money Officer as they continue to grow their 2nd line financial compliance team.
Reporting to the Senior Financial Compliance Manager, this is a broad role that will gain vast exposure across the firm and the opportunity to work directly with Partners in the firm.
The role will work alongside another Client Money Officer to ensure compliance with the Solicitor Regulation Authority Accounts Rule (SRA) in the UK, as well as equivalent international regulations. This involves conducting regular assessment of key control procedures, residual client balance reporting and bank reconciliations.
You will also work with the wider team to create and implement a structure training programme, updating client money policies, and crafting a comprehensive client money control framework.
The successful candidate will act as a trusted advisor to the business and so it is essential you have detailed knowledge of the SRA Account rules, and be able to confidently work and handle client money inquiries from Partners of the firm.
As well as detailed SRA knowledge, you will have a strong track record of compliance or finance operations such as legal cashiering.
Any experience of working with International Client Money rules is also desirable, but not essential.
