Bassford Remele is seeking a detail-oriented and organized Junior Billing Specialist to join our Accounting team in our downtown Minneapolis office.

Working closely with our Billing Specialist and Controller, the Junior Billing Specialist will assist with the firm’s billing cycle, including processing time entries, preparing and reviewing prebills, making billing revisions, and submitting invoices through electronic billing platforms.

• Excellent attention to detail and a strong commitment to accuracy.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills.

• Ability and willingness to learn new software, billing systems, and electronic billing platforms.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.A collaborative, service-oriented approach to working with attorneys and colleagues.
• Sound judgment and the ability to handle confidential information appropriately.

What Will Help You Succeed

You don’t need to know everything about legal billing on day one. We’re looking for someone who is curious, dependable, and comfortable learning new processes. You’ll receive training and support from experienced members of our Accounting team, with the opportunity to take on greater responsibility as your knowledge and confidence grow.

Success in this position means being accurate, responsive, organized, and proactive about following up on outstanding items. You should enjoy being part of a team while also becoming increasingly comfortable handling routine billing responsibilities independently.
