We are a full-service US law firm with offices in New York, Los Angeles, Irvine, San Francisco, Dallas, and Miami, and are closely affiliated with one of China’s largest law firms.

Our firm will rely on your expertise and forethought in all areas of finance to advise us on strategic growth and strategy.
You will manage our daily financial systems, handle client invoicing, work closely with accountants, and prepare important metrics and reports for department review.
We’re looking for someone who is interested in playing an invaluable role in the growth of the firm, who can both take direction and create it for themselves; someone who takes a determined approach to problem solving and is comfortable pointing out where things need improvement.
