About The Position

FBFK is seeking a Senior Accounts Receivable Manager to join our growing finance team. This is a key role for a seasoned accounts receivable professional who understands that collections in a law firm or professional services environment require sound judgment, diplomacy, business acumen, and strong client communication — not just routine follow-up. We are looking for someone with professional maturity, business judgment, and client-service mindset to communicate with sophisticated clients, including executives, business owners, and other professionals, regarding outstanding balances. In many cases, these balances may be substantial, sensitive, or require thoughtful coordination with attorneys and firm leadership. This is a highly visible role for a seasoned accounts receivable professional who understands that effective collections in a law firm environment require far more than routine follow-up. This is not a clerical AR role, and it is not a third-party collections agency position. The ideal candidate is confident, polished, persistent, and solutions oriented. They know how to think on their feet, ask the right questions, navigate complex client situations, and balance firmness with professionalism. This person will play a key role in improving AR performance, strengthening cash flow, developing and supporting collection strategy, and helping the firm maintain productive client relationships while driving accountability.
