Job description

Klemchuk PLLC looking for a detail-oriented, systems-minded professional who will help strengthen both the financial and operational foundation of our businesses. This role will serve as a trusted resource for the numbers, processes, and systems behind our work.

This is an in office position located in our Dallas office. No remote applications accepted.

On the financial side, you will manage day-to-day responsibilities such as client billing, payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, bookkeeping, KPI reporting, and monthly financial summaries. You will help ensure that leadership has accurate, timely information and a clear understanding of performance, trends, and areas that need attention.

On the operational side, you will help turn ideas and recurring activities into organized, repeatable processes. You will identify inefficiencies, improve workflows, document SOPs, implement technology and automation, and train team members on the systems you create. You should genuinely enjoy figuring out how work gets done—and then finding a better, clearer, and more scalable way to do it.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys both precision and problem-solving. You are comfortable working in the details, but you also naturally step back to consider how the pieces fit together. You want the numbers to be accurate, the processes to make sense, and the team to have the tools and documentation needed to work effectively.

The position will also coordinate selected projects across the law firm while providing limited administrative and operational support to the Managing Partner and leadership team.
