M M S LLP Litigation, Vancouver, BC

Law Firm Bookkeeper; Flexible Hours, hybrid in-office; $30-$40/hr

About this Opportunity:

M M S LLP, is a 10 person, 3 lawyer Plaintiff/ Claimant litigation firm located in downtown Vancouver. This Bookkeeper position is an independent, one - person responsibility for all aspects of full-cycle law firm accounting. This includes managing AR, AP, bank and trust account reconciliations, managing several accounts, ledgers, trust accounting, and creating invoices with disbursement lists (see below). We encourage daily interactions with other staff about approaching priorities, or having a chat with other friendly staff members looking for a break. Working exclusively from home can be a goal achieved in the short term (with some residual in-house accounting tasks) once the accounts are running smoothly.

Our Firm Culture

Our culture and aim is to be connected as a team and to feel respected and valued. If you like to work alone repeating the same tasks without much context, don’t apply. The position requires an understanding of the details behind transactions on any given legal file. That information comes from interactions with others on our team who approach their day to day work with a customer-service oriented priority, ensuring that our clients are treated fairly and their just cause resolved favourably. This objective and focus prevails throughout the interactions of staff, through to the accounting department, which we feel gives everyone working here a sense of purpose in helping others. We offer a dynamic, collaborative and professional environment, yet we also take time daily to connect with and support each other, and make an effort to celebrate personal and festive events together. Our culture and management style is focused on the promotion of a safe workplace, professional growth and collaboration, over ever increasing demands for productivity and efficiency found elsewhere. The Bookkeeping position has its own physical office.
