Our firm

Myerson is a Top 200 UK Law Firm as recognised by The Lawyer. We are also proud to be ranked ‘Top Tier’ by The Legal 500, commended by The Times ‘Best Law Firms', and accredited as ‘World Class’ in the Best Companies League Table 2023.

We are one of the largest independent law firms in the North West, a bold claim we are proud to make because it’s been hard won. No instant growth through acquisition or merger. Instead, growth earned from our day-to-day endeavours, an entrepreneurial approach to doing business, and a rock-solid reputation. We recruit staff who are motivated by our core values and have an affinity to our collegiate and independent ethos.

In September 2024, Myerson became a 100% employee-owned business. We are incredibly proud to have been the first law firm in the Manchester market to make this positive step to safeguard our independence, stability, and people first culture for years to come. Being employee-owned means shared responsibility, strong collaboration, and a difference our clients can feel.

The team

Our Finance & Accounts function is crucial to the success of Myerson by providing efficient financial support to all departments. The Accounts team consists of talented professionals with an extensive combined experience working within the legal sector, so the successful candidate will be well supported in their role.

Our legal cashiers are a small and collaborative team, so the ability to effectively communicate and develop good working relationships, both with team members and the wider firm, is essential. The ability to take initiative and be pro-active would be advantageous whilst working in a smaller team.

The role

The position would suit someone with excellent attention to detail and able to work to a high level of accuracy, often under pressure and/or time constraints. Ideally, the successful candidate will have at least 5 years’ experience within a law firm or similar, where client account exposure is required.

Typical duties and responsibilities will include:

• Monitoring client account and posting receipts in a timely manner
• Performing bank reconciliations
• Raising BACS, CHAPS and cheque payments
• Credit control, including contacting clients
• Checking and processing bills
• Other cashiering and accounts tasks as and when required
• Identifying and undertaking training and development as required in order to meet personal and business needs
• Undertaking any other reasonable duties, commensurate with the level of the post to ensure the efficient running of Myerson

Myerson are strong advocates of a successful work/life balance and proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination. We welcome applications from individuals from diverse backgrounds with the same ethos, passion and enthusiasm.
