About Denovo
Denovo Business Intelligence is a leading provider of legal case management and practice management solutions, as well as delivering an industry-leading outsourced cashiering service across Scotland. With a strong reputation for innovation and outstanding client service, we support law firms through our cutting-edge software and our expert Outsourced Cashroom Services Team.
As we continue to expand this vital service, we are seeking a SOLAS Qualified Legal Cashier to join our team. This role offers an excellent opportunity for both experienced Legal Cashiers who want to take on varied and rewarding work, and motivated candidates with less experience who are looking to build a career in legal finance.
Role Overview
The Legal Cashier will be responsible for providing outsourced finance and accounting support to a variety of law firms, ensuring compliance with the Law Society of Scotland’s Accounting Rules. You will manage a range of financial activities, support month-end and year-end tasks, and help ensure seamless day-to-day operations for our clients.
You will be part of a growing, collaborative team that delivers efficient and compliant legal cashiering services across multiple client accounts. This is a role well-suited to only those with existing cashiering experience.
