Controller

This is a new position at our firm as we continue to grow. We currently have an off-site, third-party vendor handling our bookkeeping, but we want to bring this role fully in-house.

The Controller will be a key member of our leadership team, responsible for overseeing all accounting and financial operations. This role requires hands-on experience with daily bookkeeping tasks and the use of QuickBooks. Excellent, up-to-date QuickBooks management of our expenses, advanced client expenses (and the unique way personal injury firms deal with and account for these costs), and attention to detail are critical.

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the financial intricacies of a personal injury law firm, a proven track record using QuickBooks, and ideally familiarity with legal practice management software such as FileVine and Lead Docket.

The right candidate may be able to perform this job remotely. No in-person tasks are required, but we do require folks to travel on-site for training and occasional annual events such as firm retreats and best practices days.
