A midsized general practice firm in downtown Minneapolis, is hiring a firm administrator. In practice this is a legal operations position that touches finance, HR, payroll, and firm administration, and it reports into and supports the firm’s managing partner directly.
The day to day covers a lot of ground:
Finance and accounting. Supporting the comptroller on monthly client billing, processing credit card and check payments, entering client costs, preparing monthly origination and production reporting for the attorneys, and helping with accounts payable.
HR, benefits, and payroll. Recruiting, training, and benefits support, onboarding new attorneys and staff, running payroll through ADP, managing insurance renewals and open enrollment, and handling mandatory annual reporting.
Operations. Working with the managing partner on the annual attorney retreat and other strategic planning work, vendor relations, and facilities.
This is genuinely a wear-multiple-hats role. If you want to be the go-to person at a company with tons of autonomy and responsibility, this is a great opportunity.
Compensation is in the range of $100,000 to $130,000 base depending on experience, plus a 401(k) employer match, full insurance options, paid parental leave, and PTO. The role is in office five days a week.

Advanced Excel and strong analytical/reconciliation skills
Collaborative, adaptable, and comfortable working in a decentralized organization
Strong communicator who can build relationships across corporate and branch-level teams
Why This Opportunity?

The organization offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental and vision coverage, 401(k) with company match, employee stock purchase opportunities, profit sharing, paid time off, parental leave, tuition reimbursement, professional development opportunities, and an annual bonus opportunity.
