Location: Midtown, NYC (Hybrid 2x in office)
Fun Perk: provides a daily catered lunch

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:


• Step into a highly visible leadership role with direct access to executive management and key decision-makers
• Own the finance function end-to-end, giving you broad responsibility and a meaningful voice in business decisions
• Join a nationally recognized litigation-focused firm known for handling complex, high-profile matters and competing with the largest firms in the country
• Work in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where strong performers have opportunities to grow and advance quickly
• Leverage emerging technologies, AI, and automation initiatives that modernize finance operations and reduce manual processes

• Influence process improvement initiatives and help shape the future of the firm's finance infrastructure
• Be part of a culture that values innovation, accountability, and strategic thinking over hierarchy and bureaucracy
• Partner closely with attorneys and business leaders, allowing you to make a measurable impact on firm performance
• Join a stable, respected organization with a reputation for excellence, long-term success, and exceptional client service

Key Responsibilities for the Finance Manager:


• Oversee all core finance operations, including billing, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and reporting
• Lead budgeting, forecasting, month-end close, and financial analysis processes
• Manage and develop the billing/accounting team while strengthening controls and efficiencies
• Partner with leadership to deliver financial insights, reporting, and strategic recommendations
• Oversee trust accounting, cash flow management, and compliance requirements
• Drive technology enhancements, process improvements, and workflow optimization across finance functions

Qualifications for the Finance Manager:


• 7+ years of accounting and finance experience, including law firm finance experience
• Leadership experience managing billing, accounting, or finance teams
• Strong knowledge of trust accounting, GAAP, and law firm financial operations
• Experience with Aderant and/or Elite accounting systems required
