Position Summary

The Billing Coordinator is responsible for managing the Firm's billing operations and supporting the complete revenue cycle from work-in-process (WIP) management through invoicing and collections. This position works closely with Partners, Managers, and engagement teams to ensure timely, accurate billing while maintaining exceptional client service and adherence to Firm policies.

This is a systems-driven role. The Firm operates on a cloud-based practice management and billing platform, and the Billing Coordinator is expected to work in that system daily, understand how the billing module functions, run and interpret the reports it produces, and troubleshoot issues independently.

The ideal candidate is highly detail-oriented, organized, and proactive. This individual is adaptable with software, works fluently in Excel, asks questions when clarification is needed, follows established procedures, identifies discrepancies before they become issues, and effectively manages multiple billing cycles and deadlines simultaneously. Success in this role requires a strong understanding of WIP, accounts receivable, accounts payable, collections, time and expense reporting, and professional services billing practices.
