Accounting Manager

Success Matcher Recruitment

Accounting Manager: Lead Firm-Wide Financial Operations (Hybrid)

Our client is a highly respected, 100+-year-old multi-state law firm built on institutional stability and an agile, modern approach to business. With 8 offices across the Midwest, a rapidly expanding team, and an unwavering commitment to a collaborative, human-centric culture, we are seeking an Accounting Manager to run our firm-wide accounting operations.

Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer (COO) in Kansas City, this is not a siloed, heads-down bookkeeping role. You will have real ownership from day one, running financial operations, leading a close-knit team, and making decisions that directly impact the firm’s bottom line.

What You’ll Do

  • Financial Operations: Oversee all firm-wide accounting functions, including financial statement preparation, month-end and year-end close, journal entries, and complex reconciliations.

  • Team Leadership: Manage, mentor, and technically coach a dedicated 2.5-person accounting team, cultivating a low-politics, highly supportive work environment.

  • Multi-State Tax & Compliance: Direct multi-state tax filings (1096/1099s, state use tax, business registrations) and attorney licensing/dues administration across 7 states.

  • Trust & Audit Management: Take ownership of trust accounts and coordinate comprehensive internal and client-facing audit preparations with external accountants.

  • Leadership Partner: Serve as a strategic accounting resource for attorneys across all 8 offices and produce vital ad-hoc reporting for the COO and executive leadership.

Who You Are

  • Experienced Supervisor: 2–5 years of hands-on supervisory or management experience in accounting, ideally within professional services (law firms are a major plus; finance or insurance environments are highly acceptable).

  • Technical Expert: Highly proficient in QuickBooks and Microsoft Office. You possess strong GAAP knowledge, specifically applied to cash basis or modified cash basis accounting structures.

  • A Resilient Communicator: You are comfortable communicating up and down the organization. You thrive in a direct, transparent communication culture and handle constructive feedback with professionalism and ease.

  • Hands-on Leader: You enjoy a blend of high-level oversight and tactical execution, willing to step in as an operational backup on AR/AP processes when needed.

Why Join Our Client?

Client offers an exceptional compensation package including a competitive base salary, a performance bonus that scales with your tenure, and day-one 401(k) matching with profit sharing. Our comprehensive benefits feature robust health/dental/vision coverage, an HSA with employer contributions, and an industry-leading mental health program offering 8 therapy and 8 coaching sessions per family member annually. Enjoy true work-life balance with standard hybrid flexibility after your initial ramp period.
