Day-to-day operating brief

What Legal Cashier (Accounts) work looks like in practice

A Legal Cashier records receipts and payments, maintains client and office ledgers, supports billing and performs reconciliations under the firm's accounts controls. Terms should cover banking access, payment authority, interest, suspense items, residual balances, disbursements, transfers, write-offs, supplier fraud and reporting. The cashier should not move client money from an email instruction alone, conceal shortages through suspense or treat the fee earner's urgency as authority to bypass verification. Daily controls should identify unallocated receipts promptly and prevent a similar amount from being guessed onto the wrong matter. Payment callbacks need an independently sourced number and a record of who was contacted, not simply a tick showing that the same compromised email thread confirmed its own changed details. Dormant ledger balances require periodic owner review, client tracing and documented resolution rather than indefinite suspense.

Post receipts payments and transfers.
Prepare authorised banking transactions.
Reconcile bank and matter balances.
