· Assisting with billing, reconciliation, trust accounting, and WIP reporting.

· Offering team support during peak periods or staff absences.

About You

· A high level of accuracy and attention to detail.

· Excellent time management and the ability to prioritise under pressure.

· Proactive, reliable, and adaptable with a strong problem-solving mindset.

· Ability to multitask and prioritise tasks to meet deadlines;

· Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Word and Outlook.

· Strong experience with LEAP is required.

Why Join CH-Earnest?

· Collaborative Culture: Join a tight-knit, supportive team that values transparency, respect, and innovation.

· Professional Growth: Work alongside a Principal who values clarity, commercial thinking, and mentoring.
