[Hiring] Senior Accounting Consultant @Affinity Consulting Group LLC

Role Description

Are you our next Senior Accounting Consultant? Are you the one who stays calm when the books are a mess, because you've untangled worse? Does it excite you to think about turning a law firm's billing headaches into a system they actually trust? Do you love taking a firm's financials and turning them into a story the partners want to hear? Have you spent real time in the weeds of law firm accounting: trust accounting, client/matter billing, or platforms like Centerbase, Orion, ProLaw, or Tabs3?

Our team offers digital and business transformation to law firms and legal organizations, and we are looking for a Senior Accounting Consultant who can help us guide law firm clients through implementing, optimizing, and truly understanding their billing and accounting systems.

Your responsibilities

• Serve as an operational expert on legal billing and accounting software platforms, guiding clients through implementation, configuration, and optimization.
• Advise clients on the financial and operational side of running a law firm, including billing workflows, efficiency improvements, and friction points across the client-to-cash cycle.
• Apply and explain core accounting principles - general ledger structure, journal entries, and financial statements - so clients understand the "why" behind their numbers, not just the mechanics.
• Guide clients on foundational matter management concepts, including client and matter intake, referral tracking, and numbering, and how they connect to trust accounting.
• Understand how payroll integrates with the general ledger, including payroll journal entries, without requiring hands-on payroll system administration.
• Support clients with trust accounting practices as they relate to billing, matters, and engagement letters.
• Lead training sessions for attorneys and staff, translating technical billing and accounting concepts into clear, practical guidance.
• Manage implementation and consulting projects from kickoff through go-live, including scoping, timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder communication.
• Partner with the sales team during the pre-sale stage, helping prospective clients understand how Affinity will make their firm operationally better.
• Partner with clients on financial reporting engagements, helping them interpret, improve, and act on their financial reporting.
• Collaborate with the Mid-Market Implementations team and provide status updates and escalations to the Director of Implementations.

Qualifications

• Direct, hands-on experience with law firm accounting or billing - working in a law firm's accounting function, or consulting/implementing on legal billing platforms.
• Experience training non-technical audiences on financial or technical concepts is a real plus.
• A background helping firms implement or optimize their systems from the ground up.

Requirements

• Must reside and be eligible to work in the United States.

Benefits

• Health & dental insurance.
• LTD/STD and life insurance.
• 401(k) matching.
• Employee Assistance Program.
• Fitness budget.
• Flexible vacation.
• 100% remote work with reliable internet and a dedicated professional workspace.
• Ability to travel to meetings/conferences typically 5-7 times a year.
