Horenstein Nicholson & Blumenthal (HNB Law) has been a pillar of support for Ohioans facing challenging times since its establishment over 40 years ago. Our firm is dedicated to serving individuals rather than large corporations, focusing on diverse practice areas including Social Security Disability, workers' compensation, personal injury, and veterans' disability. With offices in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and Dayton, we take pride in being advocates for everyday people, assisting them in reclaiming stability and justice. Our mission is guided by our reputation: 'Helping me, that's HNB.'

Driven by a strong community focus, HNB Law considers itself more than just a legal firm- it's a partner to those in need of legal advocacy. Our team is committed to building lasting relationships with our clients based on trust and personalized service. Whether it's navigating the complexities of disability claims, or seeking justice for personal injuries, our attorneys diligently fight for the rights and wellbeing of each client. With an inclusive culture that values integrity, empathy, and collaboration, HNB is a workplace where every team member plays a crucial role in making a difference.

The Accounting & Administrative Specialist role at HNB Law is essential to maintaining the seamless operation of our firm. It exists to provide critical redundancy and operational backup for our accounting and administrative functions, ensuring we continue to serve our clients with excellence, even in unforeseen circumstances. This position supports our mission by bolstering our team's capacity and stability, creating a secure foundation for both our employees and clients.

What you’ll do:

• Financial Support: Assist with accounting processes, including bookkeeping, financial tracking, vendor coordination, and learning the firm's accounting systems to serve as a trusted backup for critical bookkeeping functions.
• Admin Backup: Provide reception coverage during breaks and absences, answering phones, greeting clients, receiving documents, and ensuring a welcoming office atmosphere.
• Project Support: Take ownership of initiatives such as referral tracking, systems transitions, process improvements, and other operational projects that support firm growth.
• Inventory Coordination: Manage office supply orders and coordinate with vendors to maintain smooth operations.
• Confidential Support: Handle sensitive information with discretion and, over time, potentially assist with confidential HR and payroll backup responsibilities as trust and knowledge are established.

What we’re looking for:

• Bookkeeping Experience: Prior experience in accounting or bookkeeping is strongly preferred.
• Initiative-Driven: Ability to take independent initiative and learn quickly in a dynamic environment.
• Strong Interpersonal Skills: Personable, collaborative, client-focused, and able to thrive in a friendly, team-oriented environment.
• Confidentiality: High degree of trustworthiness for handling sensitive information.
• Tech-Savvy: Comfortable learning new systems, adapting to operational changes, and supporting technology transition efforts.

Why you should work here:

• Growth Opportunity: Join at a pivotal time with potential for advancement into expanded accounting and operational responsibilities as experienced team members prepare future leaders within the firm.
• Cultural Cohesion: Be part of a friendly, family-like team that values collaboration and positivity.
• Meaningful Impact: Help strengthen the firm's operational foundation by becoming a trusted support resource for critical accounting and administrative functions.
• Autonomy: Enjoy the flexibility to take ownership of projects and propose new systems and process improvements independently.
• Health Insurance: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans.
• Retirement Plans: 401(k) with profit sharing and safe harbor contributions.
• Bonuses: Consistent annual bonus opportunities based on firm performance, tenure, and individual contributions; even new team members are typically included.
• Paid Time Off: PTO and vacation benefits to support time away from work.
