Step into a Finance Manager role at a top-tier litigation boutique, where you’ll partner directly with firm leadership and shape the financial strategy of a high-performing, AI-forward organization. If you want visibility, influence, and real impact — this is it.

Finance Manager
Salary: $180,000 – $200,000 + 20% bonus
Location: Midtown, 2 days on site

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Operate as a true business partner to leadership — direct exposure to the COO, founding partners, and attorneys
• Take full ownership of the finance function in a lean, high-impact environment (no bureaucracy)
• Work at an elite litigation boutique competing with top firms on nationally significant matters, including high-profile cases
• Be part of a firm embracing AI and automation to elevate finance work and reduce manual tasks
• Join a high-performing, entrepreneurial team where strong performers are recognized and advanced quickly
• Exposure to complex financial operations, including trust accounting and high-stakes client billing
• Work in a culture that values initiative, innovation, and strategic thinking — not just execution

Key Responsibilities for the Finance Manager:
• Own and oversee the firm’s full finance function (AP/AR, billing, payroll, reporting)
• Lead budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, and closing processes
• Manage and mentor billing team while improving processes and controls
• Partner with leadership to provide financial insights and strategic recommendations
• Oversee trust accounting, cash flow management, and compliance requirements
• Drive system improvements and operational efficiencies across finance workflows

Qualifications for the Finance Manager:
• 7+ years of accounting/finance experience, including law firm experience
• Prior leadership experience managing billing or accounting teams
• Strong knowledge of trust accounting, GAAP, and law firm financial operations
• Experience with Aderant, Elite (or similar legal accounting systems)
• Proven ability to manage budgeting, reporting, and financial systems in a mid-size environment
• Advanced Excel and financial analysis skills
