Law Firm Bookkeeper/Accountant

Are you someone who...

• Takes pride in accuracy and enjoys working in the details?
• Enjoys turning financial data into information leadership can actually use?
• Wants to be a financial resource for management, not just a data-entry function?
• Is looking for meaningful, professional part-time work that fits around family commitments or a scaled-back career stage?

Final question: When you spot a discrepancy, do you dig in and resolve it, or hope someone else catches it?

About Us

Elliott Frazier Law is a growing law firm focused on delivering exceptional client experiences in both Family Law and Personal Injury. We combine compassionate advocacy with a results-driven approach, ensuring our clients feel supported while achieving the best possible outcomes.

Our firm is built on accountability, continuous improvement, and high performance. As we grow, having accurate, timely, and well-organized financial information is critical to how we make decisions — and this role plays a central part in making that possible.

Position Overview

This is a part-time, in-office role responsible for day-to-day bookkeeping and accounting functions of the firm, including accounts payable and receivable, client trust accounting, reconciliations, billing and collections support, payroll coordination, and financial reporting. This position is based in our office, as check-writing and related duties require an on-site presence.

This is not simply a transaction-entry role. You will work closely with firm management, attorneys, staff, and our outside accounting professionals to review financial information, identify discrepancies and trends, and provide reporting that helps leadership make informed business decisions.

Key responsibilities include:

General Bookkeeping & Accounting

• Maintain accurate, current financial records and reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, and other financial accounts regularly
• Review transactions for accuracy, proper classification, and supporting documentation
• Identify and investigate discrepancies, unusual transactions, and other accounting issues

Accounts Payable & Receivable

• Process accounts payable, reviewing invoices for accuracy, coding, authorization, and documentation
• Monitor accounts receivable, outstanding balances, and attorney/client billing
• Track retainer payments, replenishments, refunds, and other client-related transactions
• Follow up with clients to ensure trust accounts funds stay at appropriate levels
• Support collections efforts and prepare AP/AR reporting for management

Trust Accounting

• Maintain accurate client trust account records and individual client ledgers
• Reconcile trust accounts and monitor transactions for accuracy and compliance
• Promptly report discrepancies, errors, or compliance concerns to management

Financial Reporting & Dashboards

• Prepare and review monthly, quarterly, and as-needed financial reports for management
• Maintain accounting dashboards to give management visibility into revenue, collections, A/R, cash flow, and billing activity
• Identify meaningful financial trends and communicate significant changes to management
• Assist with budgets, forecasts, and financial projections as requested

Payroll, Cash Management & Internal Controls

• Coordinate payroll processing with the firm's payroll provider and reconcile related accounts
• Audit and approve employee timesheets prior to payroll processing
• Review and reconcile expense reports, including reconciliation to client billing when appropriate
• Assist in managing PTO balances and making retirement account transactions as required.
• Write checks and process accounts payable payments as needed, ensuring all payments are properly recorded and accounted for
• Monitor operating cash balances, reconcile deposits and withdrawals, and assist with cash-flow planning
• Support internal controls, approval processes, and identification of errors or fraud risk

Financial Systems, Tax & Outside Coordination

• Maintain accuracy within the firm's accounting systems and integrate with billing, banking, and case-management platforms
• Identify opportunities to improve accounting workflows and reduce manual processes
• Coordinate with the firm's CPA, tax professionals, and other advisors, providing records for filings and audits
• Maintain vendor and banking relationships and assist in resolving discrepancies
