Managing Accountant
Help Build the Team Behind the Mission
We are seeking a talented and motivated Managing Accountant - Financial Operations & AR Strategy to join our team and help drive operational excellence across the organization. If you're someone who enjoys solving problems, improving processes, supporting organizational growth, and making a meaningful impact behind the scenes, we'd love to hear from you.
Why This Role Matters
As a Managing Accountant, you will play a critical role in supporting the people, systems, and processes that keep FLF operating efficiently and effectively. This is not a traditional Accounts Receivable position. Due to the fluid nature of contingency settlements, fluctuating timelines, and evolving case valuations, you will combine advanced accounting oversight, operational process control, forecasting, and strategic communication.
Your work will directly contribute to the firm's success by functioning as both a financial operations leader and an internal control specialist. Whether designing scalable accounting workflows, strengthening reconciliation controls, building predictive aging systems, or directly supporting revenue realization through medical balance negotiations, your contributions will help strengthen our organization's foundation.

- [Paid Time Off]
- Location: 100% In-Office | Guadalajara, MX, Tijuana, MX
- Shift: US Pacific Standard Time (PST)

What You'll Do
As a Managing Accountant, your responsibilities may include:
- Financial Systems & Workflow Architecture (70%): Design, implement, and continuously optimize advanced Excel-based aging, tracking, and reconciliation systems integrated with QuickBooks Online; develop scalable operational accounting workflows tailored to contingency-fee environments.
- Internal Audit & Financial Oversight: Serve as an internal financial control lead by auditing, validating, and monitoring financial and operational entries performed by cross-functional departments to ensure integrity and US GAAP compliance.
- Escalation Management & Forecasting: Develop automated tracking systems and financial red-flag reporting mechanisms to identify workflow bottlenecks; analyze case inventories and historical settlement trends to produce accurate cash recovery forecasts for leadership.
- Medical Balance Negotiations (30%): Take ownership of select high-priority or escalated cases that require direct communication with medical providers or lien holders; conduct professional negotiations to reduce outstanding balances and accelerate file resolution.
- Cross-Functional Accountability: Coordinate with legal, negotiation, and operations teams to enforce financial workflows and timelines, communicating professionally and assertively to drive accountability without direct managerial authority.
What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
- Experience: Proven experience managing complex AR environments, financial operations, reconciliations, and workflow/process improvements. Experience building operational financial controls from the ground up is highly preferred.

- Accounting & Compliance: Strong working knowledge of US GAAP principles, internal controls, and financial auditing concepts.
- Communication: Exceptional verbal and written English communication skills, with the confidence to handle high-level phone negotiations and enforce accountability across teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience within US law firms, personal injury firms, insurance-related financial operations, or contingency-fee business models.

- Experience in high-volume, operationally dynamic industries.
