Job description

As our Bookkeeper, you’ll own the financial records the firm runs on—managing the general ledger, reconciling accounts, administering payables and receivables, and tracking expenses across a high volume of active cases. The standard is simple to say and hard to do: accurate, current, and audit-ready at all times.

This is a role with real ownership and real stakes. You’ll report to our Chief Financial Officer, work day to day with our Finance team, and help safeguard the client trust accounts that carry zero tolerance for error—because state bar rules demand it and our clients deserve it.

If you take genuine pride in clean books—the reconciliation that ties, the ledger that holds up under audit—this is your chance to own the numbers behind work that matters.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Maintain and reconcile the general ledger so financial records are timely, organized, and audit-ready
• Administer accounts payable and receivable—accurate invoicing, timely collections, and clean vendor payments
• Reconcile client trust and IOLTA accounts in full compliance with state bar trust accounting rules
• Track firm-wide and case-specific expenses, delivering reporting and variance analysis leadership can act on
• Support accurate, on-time payroll processing through BambooHR
• Maintain secure, organized, and confidential financial documentation—ready for internal review, audit, or regulatory inspection
• Partner with the Finance team on month-end close, reporting, and continuously tightening our processes

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Required

• A degree in accounting, finance, or a related field—or proven experience as a bookkeeper
• Real proficiency in accounting software and Microsoft Excel
• Meticulous attention to detail and relentless follow-through—nothing slips, nothing gets plugged
• Discretion and sound judgment with confidential financial information

Preferred

• Experience with legal billing software (Business Central, Matter Expert, Filevine)
• Working knowledge of trust accounting (IOLTA) rules and tax compliance specific to law firms
• BambooHR payroll processing experience

BENEFITS & PERKS

Competitive pay is just the start. Here’s how we look after you, your family, and your growth.

• Medical & dental premium covered for employee-only coverage
• Vision coverage and multiple medical plan tiers to match your life and budget
• Company-paid basic life and AD&D for every benefits-eligible employee
• Long-term disability and supplemental life coverage available
• Coverage that extends to spouses, registered domestic partners, and dependents

Time, growth & flexibility

• Paid holidays, paid time off, and generous sick leave
• A recognition and rewards program that makes great work visible
• Real coaching, regular feedback, and mentorship focused on where you’re headed
• A custom training platform built around your role and long-term growth
• Remote-first across select U.S. states, with all equipment provided plus a monthly work-from-home stipend

Benefits are summarized here for recruiting purposes. Full plan details, eligibility, and current contribution amounts are provided during onboarding.

HOW WE HIRE

• Conversations. A few focused conversations — how many depends on the role — always including the hiring team and the people you’d work alongside.
• Offer. If it’s a fit on both sides, we move to bring you on board and set you up to succeed.
