Accounting Manager

Are you a detail oriented, experienced accounting professional ready to step into a senior role where your expertise shapes how a firm operates? About the Firm DeLacey, Riebel & Shindell, LLP is a San Francisco-based boutique family law firm representing high-net-worth clients in complex family law matters. We pride ourselves on a compassionate, relationship-driven approach to law. Our attorneys and staff genuinely care about each other and the clients we serve. We work hard to help clients navigate a difficult time while preparing them for what comes next. We are selective about the clients we take on because we believe the right fit matters, for them and for us. We are looking for an accounting professional to own day-to-day financial operations and grow into a strategic financial partner for the firm. Does This Sound Like You? • You are an accountant who wants ownership of a function, not just a task list. • You are comfortable with professional services billing and the full accounting cycle. • You want to work closely with firm leadership and contribute ideas, not just execute someone else's process. Then you may be our next Accounting Manager. Reporting directly to the COO, you will have an engaged partner who understands the firm's finances and will work alongside you on analysis, firm-level proposals, and strategic planning. You are not walking into this alone. What You Will Own • Trust accounting and IOLTA compliance, including bank and trust account reconciliations. • Full accounting operations: AR, AP, payroll, general ledger, month-end and year-end close, and tax compliance coordination with our outside provider. • Financial reporting: monthly financials, variance reports, realization and collection rate tracking, and partner-ready summaries. • Budgeting and forecasting: support the annual budget process and maintain rolling forecasts in partnership with the COO. • Systems administration: serve as the primary administrator for Centerbase, our practice management and billing platform. • Growth opportunity: as you develop in the role, contribute to financial analysis and firm-level recommendations that inform partner decisions. What You Will Find Here • A COO who will work alongside you, not hand you a pile of problems and disappear. • A firm actively investing in better operations and financial infrastructure. • A collaborative team that holds itself to a high standard. • Partners who are engaged in the firm's financial health and responsive to data. • A firm where people are at the center of what we do, both the clients we serve and the team that works together. What You Will NOT Find • A firm that treats accounting as a back-office afterthought. • A bookkeeping-only role with no room to grow. • Layers of bureaucracy slowing down decisions or your suggestions for improvements. What We Are Looking For • Minimum 5 years of accounting experience; law firm or professional services experience strongly preferred. • Solid trust accounting and IOLTA compliance experience preferred. • Proficiency in Centerbase is a significant plus. • Advanced Excel skills. Compensation and Benefits • Salary range: $110,000 to $140,000 depending on experience and location. • Full benefits including medical, dental, vision, retirement, profit sharing, wellness stipend, and firm-paid life and disability insurance. • Flexible and hybrid eligible after onboarding.
