  • Prepare and deliver monthly reporting (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow snapshots, variance notes)
  • Manage vendor payments and expense workflows (and help tighten controls where needed)
  • Support year-end close and work directly with CPA/tax professionals

Trust accounting support (plus, not required):

  • Assist with client trust/IOLTA accounting workflows (tracking deposits/disbursements, client ledgers, documentation)
  • Support audit-ready trust reporting and reconciliation discipline (experience here is a big plus)

Process improvement:

  • Clean up and streamline bookkeeping workflows so leadership has real-time clarity
  • Recommend best practices for controls, documentation, and month-end close cadence

What were looking for

  • 2+ years of hands-on bookkeeping experience (professional services strongly preferred)
  • Strong reconciliation skills and comfort owning month-end close tasks

Big plus (not required):

  • IOLTA / client trust accounting experience
  • CPA certification (or significant experience working alongside CPAs)
  • Experience with law firm practice management tools (Salesforce/Litify)

What success looks like (in plain English)

  • Books are current, reconciled, and defensibleevery month
  • Leadership can rely on reports without explaining away numbers
  • Trust-related transactions (if applicable) are handled with extra rigor and documentation
  • The firm gets faster, cleaner, and more organized because youre here
