We’re looking for a team member to add to our settlements’ closing team!

The position is full-time, and the starting Salary is 43-48K/year depending on prior experience and qualifications.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite/in office during a 90-day probationary period. The role will have access to remote work benefits (2 home days/3 office days) post probationary period.

This role will offer options for full benefits packages after a successful probationary period.

Dental, Health insurance, Vision Ins., PTO, 401K/Matching, HSA And More!

Who are we looking for/Our Ideal Candidate:

• We are looking for candidates with at least one year of administrative, bookkeeping, or basic accounting experience.
• Ideally, we would like to find a candidate with prior experience in the legal industry, working on case settlements and their disbursement. This type of experience is highly preferred but not an absolute deal-breaker. We can provide robust training for qualified entry-level candidates.
• For this role, candidates need to have excellent communication and customer service skills. Candidates will need to be comfortable managing a busy email inbox, fax line, and phone calls with clients and billing providers.
• The ideal candidate for this role will have a natural love for being organized and detail-oriented and be comfortable working with numbers/basic math while following specific firm processes/protocols.
• The ideal candidate for this role is very comfortable working solo the majority of the time and proactively reporting on multiple elements of their work progress. Candidates will have robust team support for problem-solving and general needs, but the majority of the day-to-day work is solo work, not social or collaborative in nature.
• Successful candidates in this role must have a proactive working style and be able to follow a system for managing a rotating case load.

Core Responsibilities for this role can be summarized as follows:

• Manage communication with clients at the closing/settlement stage of their case.
• Balance client settlements with bills owed according to preset numbers.

• Manage requests for discounts and reductions on all bills owed to completed #2 above.
