Our well-established Peterborough law office specializing in estate and trust planning and administration seeks a well-organized, highly motivated individual for a bookkeeper position. The position may be either full-time or part-time, depending upon the qualifications and availability of the successful candidate. For a full-time candidate, the position would include a combination of bookkeeping and legal assistant responsibilities. The bookkeeping functions will include responsibility for the firm's day-to-day financial recordkeeping, accounts payable and receivable, reconciliation of bank and other financial accounts, maintenance of accurate financial records, and coordination with the firm's attorneys, accountants, and other professionals as necessary. Because the position involves access to confidential client and firm financial information, discretion, accuracy, and absolute confidentiality are essential. For a full-time employee, the position will also include legal assistant responsibilities, including working closely with our attorneys to prepare estate planning and other legal documents and assisting with a variety of general office and administrative tasks. The successful candidate should be a flexible and cooperative team player with a high level of attention to detail, excellent organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities efficiently. Prior bookkeeping experience is strongly preferred. Prior law office experience is helpful but not required, and candidates with relevant transferable skills are encouraged to apply. Proficiency with common office software, particularly Microsoft Word, is required. Experience with bookkeeping or accounting software is also preferred. Compensation will be commensurate with experience and will depend in part upon whether the position is full-time or part-time.
