2 weeks ago

Vancouver, Canada MMS Litigation Full time

About this Opportunity:
M M S LLP, is a 5 staff, 3 lawyer litigation firm located in downtown Vancouver. This Bookkeeper position is an independent, one - person responsibility for all aspects of full-cycle law firm accounting, with hybrid and flex hours perfect for someone who is juggling at home family and work responsibilities. Responsibilities include managing AR, AP, bank and trust account reconciliations, managing several accounts, ledgers, trust accounting, and creating invoices with disbursement lists. We encourage daily interactions with other staff about approaching priorities, or having a chat with other friendly staff members looking for a break. Working several days from home can be a goal achieved (with some residual in-house accounting tasks) once the accounts are running smoothly.

Our Firm Culture

We aim to be connected as a team and promote dignity respect and being valued. If you like to work alone repeating the same tasks without much context, don’t apply. The position promotes an understanding of the details behind transactions. That information comes from interactions with others on our team who approach their day to day work with a focus on collegiality 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.
