Senior Accounting and Benefits Administrator | Garrison Legal Search Firm

GARRISON LEGAL SEARCH FIRM We're Hiring: Senior Accounting & Benefits Administrator Washington, DC • Remote (Hybrid) • Part-Time, ~30 hrs/week • Flexible Schedule At Garrison Legal Search Firm , our proudest achievement isn't the 2,000+ elite attorneys we've placed over four decades — it's the culture we've built along the way. From our Washington, DC headquarters, we've earned the legal industry's trust through an approach defined by integrity, discretion, and genuine relationships: high touch, high truth, high trust. But what we're most proud of is the close-knit team behind it all — a group where everyone has a place, where we take our work seriously without ever taking ourselves too seriously, and where we invest deeply in our people. Now, we're looking for a Senior Accounting and Benefits Administrator to serve as the financial backbone of our firm — owning our full accounting and financial management, payroll, and benefits administration while partnering directly with the firm's three owners as a trusted advisor on the numbers that drive our decisions.

We invest in our people, and this is your chance to lead, be seen, and truly matter. If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.
