About the role
What we're looking for?
We need someone with 2–5 years of supervisory/management experience in accounting who thrives in a collaborative, direct-communication environment and can take real ownership of firm-wide accounting operations. You should be comfortable managing a small team, handling multi-state tax filings, and working closely with senior leadership — including the COO. Bonus points if you have cash basis or modified cash basis accounting experience and a background in professional services (law firm experience is ideal).
What you'll do:
- Oversee firm-wide accounting operations including financial statement preparation, monthly/year-end close, reconciliations, and journal entries
- Manage and mentor a team of 2.5, providing technical guidance on accounting and tax topics
- Handle multi-state tax filings (1096/1099s, state use tax, business registrations) and attorney licensing/dues administration across 7 states
- Manage trust accounts and coordinate audit preparation (internal and client-facing) with outside accountants
- Act as backup on AR/AP and produce ad hoc reporting for the COO and firm leadership
- Collaborate cross-functionally across 8 offices, serving as a reliable accounting resource for attorneys and staff at all levels
