Part-Time Bookkeeper (10 hrs/week, Hybrid)

Description

Reeves Lavallee, P.C. is a busy Worcester law firm practicing family law, real estate, landlord/tenant, and probate. We're looking for a careful, experienced bookkeeper to keep our books clean, our trust accounts reconciled, and our partners informed — in about 10 hours a week.

$30–$34 an hour · About 10 hours a week, on a schedule you set · Hybrid: mostly remote, with office time at 250 Commercial Street, Worcester

This role suits a bookkeeper who wants steady, predictable hours alongside other clients, or a semi-retired professional who wants to stay sharp without a full-time schedule.

What you would actually do

• Record and categorize income and expenses, and keep the general ledger current
  
• Reconcile operating and credit card accounts every month
  
• Reconcile our IOLTA client trust accounts, including three-way reconciliations under Massachusetts Rule 1.15
  
• Match client payments from LawPay and our practice-management system to the right matters and accounts
  
• Track accounts payable and make sure bills are paid on time
  
• Support payroll and benefits reconciliation with our PEO
  
• Prepare monthly financial reports for the partners, and flag anything that looks off
  
• Work with our outside CPA at year-end and for tax filings
  

We're a small office with direct access to the partners — no layers between you and the people who can answer your questions.

What we need

• 3+ years of hands-on bookkeeping experience, including month-end close and bank reconciliations
  
• Strong with Quicken and with Excel or Google Sheets
  
• Meticulous — you notice when a number is off by a penny, and you find out why
  
• Discretion. Our clients are going through divorces, evictions, probate disputes and home purchases. Confidentiality isn't optional.
  
• Comfortable working on your own, and asking good questions when something doesn't add up
  
• Able to come into our downtown Worcester office when the work calls for it
  

Helpful, but not required: law-firm bookkeeping and IOLTA trust accounting; familiarity with MyCase, LawPay or Justworks; Spanish or Portuguese fluency.

How to apply: along with your resume, tell us (1) which accounting systems you've used most, and for what kinds of businesses, and (2) the trickiest reconciliation you've had to untangle, and how you solved it.

Reeves Lavallee, P.C. is an equal opportunity employer.
