Actionstep Group
Head of Accounting, Billing and Trust Products
Actionstep Group, Denver, Colorado, United States, 80285
THE PURPOSE OF ACTIONSTEP
Helping law firms modernize and embrace the future.
Law firms provide an essential service to our society. Lawyers and law firm professionals protect people and assets, reduce collective risk, and help businesses grow.
Law is an incredibly demanding profession that involves complicated, precise work with heightened client care. Midsize law firms often lack the management experience, technology and administrative processes to help them do this work efficiently, instead relying on long hours and manual processes. As a result, the legal sector has traditionally been slow to change. Until now.
Through our powerful, innovative law firm management technology, Actionstep enables law firms to work efficiently, delight clients, evolve with the market and thrive as efficient, profitable businesses.
With Actionstep, law firms are equipped to confidently embrace the future.
ACTIONSTEP VALUES Our values are core to what we are and what we aspire to be. Our values guide our actions and how we behave. They underscore how we treat each other, our partners and our customers. Our values also serve as a reminder of our focus on customer experience and innovation, and help us navigate toward our bright future.
Actionstep is a pioneer in the development and sale of software-as-a-service (SaaS) products, specializing in the delivery of Legal Practice Management software. We are a fast growing, dynamic business with a global customer base of more than 50,000 and a team of over 300 in the USA, Australia, UK, Canada and New Zealand.

This role will ensure Actionstep meets the evolving needs of mid-market and enterprise law firms across multiple GEOs while simplifying our accounting offering, maximizing our recent accounting investments, and ensuring long‑term scalability.
ABOUT YOU You are a big thinker, looking to create positive change in an area of law‑firm administration (financial management and administration) that typically handles consistent pressure to go faster, get every little detail right, drive revenue realisation and meet regulatory and compliance requirements. You will care deeply about these teams and making their working lives easier. You are someone who cares about near‑term wins, while planning for long‑term success.
