Accounting Assistant – Learn Legal Accounting

Boston, MA | Hybrid
$60,000–$75,000 + Bonus + Outstanding Benefits
Excellent Opportunity to Build a Career in Law Firm Accounting

Are you early in your accounting career and looking for an opportunity where you can learn, grow, and develop valuable legal accounting experience? This could be a terrific next step.

A growing, mission-driven East Coast law firm is seeking an Accounting Assistant to join its collaborative accounting team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a foundation in accounting who wants hands-on exposure to multiple areas of law firm finance—including accounts payable, billing, collections, expense reimbursements, and financial systems.

You do not need prior law firm accounting experience. The firm is looking for someone with solid basic accounting knowledge, strong attention to detail, and, most importantly, a desire to learn.

Why You'll Want to Work Here

• $60,000–$75,000 salary
• Bonus potential
• Outstanding benefits package
• 12 paid Federal holidays
• Excellent opportunity to learn legal accounting
• Exposure to several areas of accounting rather than being limited to one function
• Collaborative 5-person accounting team located in Boston and Washington, DC
• Hybrid schedule with only 2 days per week in the office after your first 90 days
• Growing, mid-sized law firm with approximately 85 lawyers and staff
• Work for a firm representing both nonprofit and for-profit clients around the world

The Schedule

For your first 90 days, you will work 3 days per week in the Boston office while you learn the position and get to know the team.

After 90 days, the schedule becomes 2 days per week in the office and 3 days remote.

Core hours: 8:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m., Monday–Friday

What You'll Do

As an important member of the Accounting Team, you will gain experience in a variety of accounting functions, including:

• Processing accounts payable
• Handling expense reimbursements
• Assisting with collections
• Supporting the Billing Coordinator with client billing
• Maintaining accurate accounting records
• Assisting with accounting projects and department initiatives
• Learning law firm accounting systems, procedures, and best practices

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field , or equivalent experience
• Basic understanding of accounting principles and processes
• Approximately 2–3 years of office experience preferred ; professional services experience is a plus
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Outlook
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work effectively as part of a team
• A positive attitude and a genuine desire to learn and grow in accounting

Experience with LMS/SurePoint, Center Suite, or similar accounting/database systems is helpful but not required.

A Great Opportunity to Grow

If you have a foundation in accounting but haven't yet had the opportunity to work in a law firm, don't let that stop you from applying. This position offers the chance to learn legal accounting from an experienced team while building skills that can open the door to a long-term career in law firm finance.

Salary: $60,000–$75,000 + bonus potential and comprehensive benefits.
