The Opportunity

This is much more than a traditional accounting or billing position.

Occasional light travel (under 10%) may be required for team alignment or specialized training.

What You Will Do

• Serve as the primary point of contact for resolving accounting and billing inquiries from attorneys, billers, business professionals, and clients.
• Assess, research, and resolve complex financial and billing questions accurately while adhering to standard Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
• Accurately document all inquiries, actions, and resolutions within the ServiceNow ticketing system and professional email correspondence.
• Identify out-of-scope issues and route them effectively to correct internal resolver groups while ensuring requestors remain supported throughout the process.
• Maintain strict compliance with firm policies, accounting practices, and legal confidentiality standards when managing sensitive financial data.
• Participate in ongoing training and professional development to maintain subject-matter mastery of firm accounting software and enterprise tools.
• Leverage feedback and technical documentation to eliminate personal knowledge gaps and continuously enhance overall service quality.
• Build trust across internal departments through transparent communication, dependable follow-through, and exceptional service delivery.

Who You Are

• Minimum 2 years of dedicated accounting or billing experience within a law firm or professional services organization.
• Hands-on proficiency and practical working experience with Aderant legal management software is strictly required.
• Familiarity or working experience with enterprise tools such as Chrome River, Kofax, or ServiceNow ticket management systems is highly preferred.
• Demonstrated competence in Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel proficiency (pivot tables, complex filters) and Word formatting capabilities.
• Strong analytical, research, and problem-solving abilities with high attention to detail and accuracy.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to maintain confidentiality and professionalism at all times.
