Junior Controller

Grow your bookkeeping career at our award-winning legal accounting firm.

At PROFiX Accounting & Strategy, what gets us going in the morning (besides coffee) is helping our clients fix their process issues and build a path to timely and reliable financial information so they can build a profitable business.

We are a fully remote, female-founded, and forward-thinking boutique accounting firm, and our elite client list is growing — fast.

Our law firm clients have a clear vision, but we offer them the kind of financial insight and strategy they need to make their vision a reality.

We help business leaders by:

1. Seamlessly understanding their challenges, presenting solutions, and taking over their bookkeeping and trust accounting functions to make their lives much easier.
2. Demonstrating the value of data, strategy, and action plans to keep up with quickly changing industry practices.

We have stellar service offerings, a clear onboarding process, and strong systems—what we need from you is to step into a Junior Bookkeeper role to support our team of Senior Controllers.

This means you possess:

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to follow up on tasks, ask important questions and initiative to get important tasks that have been assigned to you crossed off your list.
• A curious mind oriented towards  the  details. Can you spot the misplaced comma or the 0 that should be an 8? Does something just not make common sense when looking at a statement? You will deal with numbers on a day-to-day basis that our clients will review to make important business decisions.
• A growth mindset, and the ability to quickly learn and implement new skills, software, and compliancy rules.
• A resourceful and analytical mindset with a high achieving personality. We are fully remote and while we don’t micro-manage, we pay attention to the output of work and expect results. If diving into different files daily and being pushed out of your comfort zone excites you, you are going to love it here.
• Honesty and integrity - you embody these  core qualities because you know these determine the health of a company. You are fully aware that words always have weight and guarantee transparency.

Who are we?

With over a decade of experience working with law firms, PROFiX Accounting & Strategy is the  specialist in trust accounting services. We offer legal bookkeeping and fractional CFO consulting to provide law firms with a full spectrum of finance support.

We are a leader in helping our clients achieve their business goals.

Whether they want to hit a financial milestone or grow their organization, we can provide the strategy, planning, and execution support our clients are looking for.There is no problem we can’t fix.  Owning and running a law firm is an overwhelming role — we know because we have exclusively worked within law firms for the last decade. Using our breadth of legal accounting and bookkeeping expertise, we help firms solve whatever problem they’re facing.

Who would you be working with?

We’re a team of 9 (including you!) of controllers, bookkeepers, and operations. The whole team meets remotely once a month, but otherwise, you will be primarily meeting and working with the senior controllers. We also communicate regularly on Slack and Zoom.

So what is the job anyway?

Your main initiative is to perform monthly + daily bookkeeping duties for our clients by assisting the firm’s controllers + CFO’s with the daily workloads in any way you can.

What does that look like every day?

One thing we can guarantee is no 2 days will be the same when you work at PROFiX. If you are of the mindset that bookkeeping + accounting is boring (like our founder Anna DiBella thought when she was in university) we anticipate you will have a different experience. This is a high paced job where you can expect to learn and contribute a lot in your time here. We expect you to dive into all the work we give you and some of the tasks you can expect to perform are listed below:

• Posting Expenses and other accounting entries
• Organizing and filing financial records
• Preparing month end packages and communicating with clients
• Reconciling accounts
• Entering + Analyzing data
• Evaluating all processes and identifying areas of potential improvement for efficiency to
• your supervisor

In addition, your second and equally important initiative is to assist our Director of Operations in creating the employee training material that we need to have in place to scale nationally. You can also expect to be in charge of the following:

• Identifying each distinct task in your daily workload
• Breaking that task down into steps
• Working with our Leadership Team to document the process for each task for our
• employee training handbook

What we need from you.
