Job description

Are you the kind of person who sees a number that doesn't look right and wants to figure out why?

Do you enjoy work where accuracy matters, systems make sense, and there is satisfaction in knowing that everything has been accounted for? Are you comfortable managing your own recurring responsibilities without needing someone to continually tell you what to do next?

The Law Offices of Brenton C. McWilliams is looking for a Billing and Accounts Payable Specialist to take ownership of several of the financial processes that keep our law firm running smoothly. This is an important position for someone who combines accounting experience with attention to detail, follow-through, sound judgment, and the confidence to ask questions when something does not make sense.

About the Role

Our firm handles estate planning, elder law, and probate matters for families throughout Alabama. Most of the client work is billed on a fixed-price basis, so this is different from a traditional law-firm billing position built primarily around attorney billable hours.

You will help make sure that work that should be billed actually gets billed, client payments are properly recorded, trust balances can be explained, accounts receivable are actively followed up on, and approved firm expenses are paid accurately and on time.

You will also help give the firm's Owner reliable financial information for making decisions.

This role requires more than entering information into accounting software. We are looking for someone who understands how financial records should fit together, recognizes when something looks wrong, and takes responsibility for figuring out what happened.

Once you are trained on our systems and processes, you should be comfortable managing the regular flow of your work independently.

This position is an in-office position at our office in Orange Beach. The position is full-time.

• In addition to the compensation listed, for full-time employees, individual health insurance is fully paid for by the firm.
• Family health insurance is available through payroll deduction.
• Dental and vision insurance is available through payroll deduction.
