Established in 2015, we've grown into a close-knit, supportive practice known for our collaborative culture and high-quality legal work across insolvency, finance, commercial and family law matters.

- Some experience in bookkeeping or accounts, preferably with Xero
- Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
