Bank Reconciliations Specialist

A leading professional services firm is seeking a dedicated Bank Reconciliations Specialist to join their Manchester-based finance team working fully remotely. This opportunity offers you the chance to play a pivotal role in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial records, supporting compliance with industry regulations, and contributing to the smooth operation of the organisation's financial processes. You will be welcomed into an inclusive environment where your attention to detail and commitment to high-quality work are highly valued. The firm is committed to fostering a supportive workplace culture that encourages knowledge sharing, ongoing development, and strong inter-personal connections across teams. If you are looking for a position where your expertise in bank reconciliations can make a meaningful impact while enjoying flexible working opportunities and being part of a collaborative network, this role is designed for you.

As a Bank Reconciliations Specialist (working remotely), your day-to-day responsibilities will centre around maintaining the highest standards of accuracy in all aspects of bank account management. You will be entrusted with investigating unreconciled items swiftly, performing daily checks on multiple accounts, posting essential entries into finance systems, and preparing comprehensive reports for month-end reviews. Your ability to monitor transactions closely ensures compliance with industry rules while supporting audit readiness at all times. By managing shared inboxes efficiently and participating in team discussions focused on continuous improvement, you will help drive operational excellence throughout the finance function.

Key duties include:

• Investigate and resolve over 100 daily unreconciled items to ensure all financial records remain clean, accurate, and fully auditable for internal and external review.
• Perform daily reconciliations of all bank accounts, maintaining strict adherence to Solicitors Accounts Rules (SAR) and ensuring all discrepancies are addressed promptly.
• Post entries into the finance system as required so that every cashbook entry can be matched efficiently against corresponding bank transactions.
• Add bank transfers to banking platforms specifically for reconciliation purposes, supporting seamless integration between systems.
• Assist in preparing detailed month-end reconciliation reports that provide transparency for internal review and audit requirements.
• Monitor and record all financial transactions meticulously, ensuring each item is correctly posted, categorised, and compliant with regulatory standards.
• Manage shared query inboxes by delivering timely, accurate responses to both internal colleagues and external stakeholders who rely on dependable information.
• Participate actively in regular team meetings aimed at identifying process improvements and implementing best practices within reconciliation activities.

Your background as a Bank Reconciliations Specialist equips you with practical experience in managing complex financial records within regulated environments. You bring an understanding of legal sector requirements-particularly those relating to Solicitors Accounts Rules-and have demonstrated your ability to deliver accurate results even when faced with large volumes of data or tight deadlines. Your approach is methodical yet adaptable; you thrive when collaborating with others, sharing knowledge openly, and responding considerately to queries from colleagues or clients. With excellent organisational abilities and an unwavering commitment to producing high-quality work, you are ready to contribute positively within a team-oriented setting where your dependability will be recognised.

Demonstrated experience in bank reconciliations within a professional or legal sector environment is essential for this role. Familiarity with Solicitors Accounts Rules (SAR) is highly desirable as it supports compliance with industry-specific regulations. Previous exposure to disbursements or accounts payable functions would be advantageous for handling related tasks effectively. A proven ability to maintain focus on tasks while meeting daily targets under time-sensitive conditions is crucial for success. Excellent organisational skills combined with strong time management enable you to handle multiple priorities without compromising quality. Meticulous attention to detail ensures that all work produced meets high standards of accuracy and reliability. A supportive attitude towards investigating queries helps you resolve issues efficiently while maintaining positive stakeholder relationships.
