What We're Looking For

You're more than just numbers – you're someone who thrives on accuracy, enjoys problem-solving, and can balance the technical side of trust accounting with clear communication and teamwork.

  • 2+ years' experience in a trust accounting role (ideally in a law firm) OR solid experience as an Accounts Payable Officer within professional experience, looking to take a step up.
  • Experience with online banking platforms and payment processing
  • Strong attention to detail and a process-driven mindset
  • Excellent time management skills — calm under pressure and deadline-focused
  • Confident communicator, able to liaise with clients, partners, and lawyers
  • Intermediate Excel skills and general tech-savviness
  • Adaptable, positive, and comfortable working in a high-growth environment
Why Join Hamilton Locke?

We don't just talk about culture – we live and breathe it. You'll be part of a people-first team where collaboration, trust, and growth matter.

  • Be part of a high-growth business where your impact matters
  • Help shape smarter trust accounting processes and contribute to exciting projects
