The firm offers convenient commuting options, free parking, and a polished professional-service environment.

Your new role

This firm is seeking an Administrative & Billing Assistant to join its team on a full-time basis. Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, this role supports both the administrative and billing functions and involves working closely with law clerks, lawyers, and the accounting team.

This is a junior–intermediate administrative opportunity suited either to:

  • A motivated graduate seeking a strong entry point into the legal industry, or
  • An experienced administrator seeking a stable, Monday–Friday role in a professional environment.

The CFO emphasized that the firm is open to various backgrounds – success is determined by your attention to detail, organization, ability to learn quickly, and comfort with repetitive administrative tasks.

  • Prepare, review, and process billing documentation.
  • Perform significant data entry and maintain accurate file documentation.
  • Set up new client or matter files and ensure all supporting information is captured correctly.
  • Review and verify high volume transaction statements to ensure accuracy.
  • Input invoices into internal systems and support reconciliation tasks.
  • Assist with administrative workflows for assigned legal practice groups.
  • Support senior law clerks, lawyers, and accounting team members as required.

  • Provide general administrative support including clerical tasks, document preparation, and file organization.

What you’ll need to succeed

  • Strong attention to detail and high accuracy in data-heavy tasks.
  • Organized, reliable, proactive, and able to learn processes quickly.
  • Comfortable with repetitive and routine tasks as part of a structured workflow.
  • Positive attitude, willingness to contribute, and ability to stay engaged.
  • Ability to work onsite and collaborate closely with legal and finance professionals.
  • Prior billing or legal administrative experience is an asset, not a requirement.

What you’ll get in return

  • Salary: $50,000–$55,000 (dependent on experience)
  • Vacation: 2 weeks vacation
  • Benefits: Health and dental benefits commencing after 3 month probation
  • Additional Leave: 3 paid personal/professional (PPO) days per year
