Working closely with Finance & Accounting, IT, business stakeholders, and external vendors, this role supports Elite 3E and related billing, accounting, expense, time-entry, cash movement, and reporting systems; develops and maintains integrations, templates, and reporting assets; and helps ensure accurate, stable, and secure financial operations across the firm. The role is essential to day-to-day production support, system improvement, and the consistent delivery of trusted financial data.

 
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Support system configuration, role-based security, user provisioning, on/offboarding, templates, master data, and change control for applications and platforms under team purview.
  • Design, build, test, and support finance-related integrations and interfaces, including Boomi jobs, bank and ACH connections, data imports and exports, reporting feeds, and other upstream/downstream system dependencies.
  • Develop and maintain queries, reports, dashboards, extracts, and reconciliations that provide accurate and timely financial data to Finance, Accounting, and firm leadership.
  • Monitor application performance, scheduled jobs, and interface processing; troubleshoot failures, analyze root cause, and coordinate timely recovery or permanent resolution.
  • Partner closely with Finance and operations teams to support month-end and year-end processing, validate outputs, and resolve data issues affecting financial integrity.
  • Translate business requirements into clear functional and technical specifications and participate in solution design, estimation, implementation, and post-deployment support.
  • Execute and support testing disciplines, including unit testing, system testing, UAT coordination, release validation, and defect triage for upgrades, patches, fixes, and new functionality.
  • Support custom templates, forms, dashboards, workflows, and other configuration or customization objects within the firm's legal financial management platforms.
  • Produce and maintain clear documentation for system configuration, integrations, support procedures, release notes, and operational runbooks.
  • Collaborate closely with Accounting, Billing, Collections, AP, AR, Treasury/Cash Management, IT, Information Security, Data/BI teams, and vendors to deliver stable, secure solutions.
  • Identify opportunities for process improvement and automation that reduce manual effort, improve user experience, and strengthen controls and auditability across finance operations.
  • Provide responsive application support, knowledge transfer, and user guidance, and participate in after-hours support or critical issue response as needed.

 
TECHNICAL AND SKILL REQUIREMENTS
  • Progressive experience supporting legal finance applications in a law firm or similarly complex professional services environment.
  • Hands-on experience with Elite 3E or another enterprise legal financial management platform; comparable experience with Aderant Expert, Aderant Sierra, or a related platform is strongly considered. Must have legal experience/expertise.

  • Strong SQL and relational database skills, including the ability to write queries, analyze table structures, validate data, troubleshoot issues, and support reporting and extract requirements.
  • Experience with reporting and BI tools such as SSRS, Power BI, or comparable platforms.
