Serving your Litigation, Real Estate, and Business needs. Florida Title Insurance
BOOKKEEPER POSITION: We had a difficult time trying to decide if this “high tech “ method for getting top notch, bright applicants would be successful. We were concerned that we might wrongfully be accused of not being “personal” or snobbish about being too computer literate. Ultimately, we decided that the people we were looking to hire should have enough basic knowledge to figure out how to get to this point, and they should be able to obtain their application on the Web.
Congratulations, you made it so far!
If you have any questions about this process and you need to call us, please do so. We do not want to seem cold or impersonal. Three years from now you will say that we either were at the cutting edge by using the Web to help process our applications, or, if it turns out to be too much of a “turn off,” you can say “I told you so.” We do understand that interviewing for a new job, like the practice of law, involves “people” interaction, so we will get to that part later.
HELP
If you need to call, please wait until after you have read the rest of this page. Thereafter, we will make ourselves available to you. Our main line is 305-673-9399. Our fax number is 305-673-9499.
Rather than wasting everyone’s time, please make sure that you meet our minimum requirements for submitting an application. You will make better use of your time by focusing your efforts on another job, if you do not meet these minimum requirements. You will also be wasting our time by forcing us to look at your application when you will not be hired. We do not want to discourage anyone who does meet our minimum requirements, so please read on!! If you believe that there are some really special circumstances that would cause us to consider someone who does not meet these qualifications, then you may also proceed further.
THE JOB
The currently available position is for a full time, full charge bookkeeper. You must be "intimately" familiar with Quick Books Pro and its "time billing" module. You also need to have basic computer skills and be proficient in Microsoft Word. The firm handles real estate closings, civil litigation, family litigation, and business law matters. Most of our clients are billed on an hourly basis. You will be responsible for preparing our Statements, both fees and costs, to the client, and maintaining a follow-up system for collecting on our Statements. You will also maintain the checking accounts, do the monthly reconciliations, maintain the GL and handle accounts payables. This is key position for the office running smoothly. Only people who are looking for a long term career with a growing law firm should apply.
We open at 9:00 and close at 5:30. There is a 1 hour lunch break. Most, but not all bank holidays are taken. Vacation is two weeks per year, after 1 year. It grows 1 day for each year of service, to a maximum of 3 weeks paid vacation.
Salary is based upon current proficiency with Quick Books and your ability to help run a smooth law practice.
OUR MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Before calling us or filling out our Application for Employment, you must meet all of requirements below:
-
We are located on Miami Beach, and you have to be able to arrive by 9:00. Our office is at the foot of the Julia Tuttle Causeway, which is the same as the east end of I-195. We are at the intersection of Arthur Godfrey Road (41st Street) and Alton Road. We are near Mt. Sinai Hospital. If it will take you more than 30 minutes to get to your new job (our office) then, we are sorry, but it will not work out.
-
We have a smoke free environment. If you smoke, don’t get burned, but we can’t use you. Hopefully, you do not smoke and you should read on!
-
You must have a minimum of 5 years experience as a full charge bookkeeper, administrative assistant, manager or another similar position that required computerized accounting, and handling responsibility.
-
You must have lived in South Florida for at least one and one half (1½) years.
-
You must have verifiable, past work references. If the company closed or moved, you will need to find out where we can contact them – especially your supervisor or the owner.
-
You must be a “team player.” If you have noticed that you did not get along with more than 1 or 2 of your previous co-workers or the customers or clients of your employers, then it probably won’t be any different now. Therefore, you must be easy to get along with and understand that clients do not come back when they have not been treated professionally and with the respect they deserve.
-
Since you are now reading the 7th and final requirement, you probably possess the talent to meet the last requirement. You must be bright, quick and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. This job requires that you think and make your own decisions. Of course, we will train you, but you must possess the Quick Books Pro skills and drive to get the job done. Once you're up and going, you will be in a position of being a decision maker.
LETS ROLL
If you are still reading, then we’ll bet that you're ready to apply for that special job which will change not only your career, but maybe your life. This is a special opportunity that is not available to everyone. However, if you’re ready to go, then lets roll!!
