Your Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

Previous experience in an administrative or receptionist role, preferably in a professional services environment (accounting, legal, or medical). Strong follow-through and ability to manage tasks independently. Professional, friendly, and confident in both written and verbal communication. Organized and detail-oriented. Technologically comfortable in a paperless environment. Experience with CCH iFirm is a strong asset. Discreet and trustworthy with confidential information.
We prioritize work-life balance for our team and offer competitive compensation commensurate with experience, including a bonus program.

We would like to thank all applicants for showing interest in the position. However, only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
