Law Firm Accounting Jobs

Working with your firm’s financials, a skilled legal accountant will help your office succeed and grow and help protect your professional reputation. Firms must comply with the rules, professional conduct, and ethics governing the legal industry. There are serious repercussions to mishandling client funds (even accidental violations) so placing qualified and vetted candidates is our uppermost priority. Financial staff specializing in legal work will benefit firms the most since these skilled candidates will be familiar with the requirements and nuances of legal accounting practices. Here are some of the tasks handled by a law firm accountant:

Client trust accounting
Tax returns
Capturing all expenses
Case cost and expense accounting
Identifying revenue vs. income
Payroll

Law firm accounting professionals can help law practices make informed decisions based on hard data, helping identify opportunities to reduce overhead or explore growth opportunities. Using the data that bookkeepers and legal billing employees generate will help law firm accountants forecast and manage cash flow for your firm. We will handle your search for an accountant by helping you determine the experience, technology and level of support required for your firm.
