Finance Manager
Location: NYC - 2 days onsite
Salary: $180,000 - 200,000 + 20% bonus

Step into a high-impact Finance Manager role at one of the nation’s premier litigation boutiques — where you’ll partner directly with firm leadership and help shape financial strategy in a fast-growing, elite environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Direct exposure to partners and the COO — real influence on firm strategy and operations
• Join a highly respected litigation boutique with national presence and global clients
• Broad ownership across accounting, billing, budgeting, and financial reporting
• Opportunity to drive process improvements and build scalable financial systems
• High-visibility role with meaningful input into business decisions
• Collaborative, entrepreneurial culture where initiative is valued
• Hybrid flexibility across NYC, DC, or Chicago offices
• Ability to expand leadership skills managing billing and finance functions
• Work in a lean environment where your impact is immediate and measurable

Key Responsibilities for the Finance Manager:

• Oversee financial reporting, monthly close, and variance analysis
• Manage AP/AR, billing operations, payroll review, and cash flow
• Lead budgeting process and support financial planning initiatives
• Maintain accounting systems, controls, and reconciliations (including partner equity)
• Partner with leadership on financial insights, analysis, and decision-making
• Ensure accuracy of client payments, financial data, and reporting processes

Qualifications for the Finance Manager:

• 7+ years of accounting/finance experience, including 2+ years in a law firm
• Prior experience supervising billing or finance teams
• Strong working knowledge of Aderant Expert Sierra (billing, GL, AP)
• Solid understanding of GAAP, cash/accrual accounting, and IOLTA compliance
