The Role

In this role, you'll be an integral part of our team's mission of helping immigrants secure their future in the United States through asylum. We believe that those fleeing persecution deserve expert guidance and unwavering support as they seek safety and a new beginning in the United States.Â

The Accounting & Finance Manager (Hands-on) is responsible for managing the firmâs financial operations, accounting systems, billing, accounts receivable, cash flow forecasting, financial reporting, trust accounting compliance, payroll oversight, tax reporting coordination, internal controls, and finance-related operational projects.Â

This role serves as the firmâs first level of financial analysis and operational financial control. The Accounting & Finance Manager ensures that financial records are accurate, timely, compliant, and useful for decisions. This is a hands-on role. The initial focus is to learn the firmâs systems, work with existing staff and providers, and establish accurate, reliable financial operations.

Recurring accounting and billing work will be delegated progressively, while the manager retains responsibility for controls, review, quality, and results. As readiness and scope are agreed with leadership and current senior finance support, the manager will gradually assume selected planning and reporting responsibilities from that support.

The Accounting & Finance Manager must explain complex financial information in plain English, identify financial risks, recommend corrective action, and follow approved actions through implementation and verified results. The role supports leadership decisions on budgeting, profitability, cash management, pricing, collections, and strategic planning.Â

What You'll Do

Your day-to-day responsibilities will vary based on the firmâs needs, but will include a combination of the following:

Financial Operations ManagementÂ

Financial Reporting, Budgeting, and ForecastingÂ

Billing, Collections, and Accounts ReceivableÂ
