Settlement Coordinator (Legal Accounting & Disbursements)

Location: San Pedro, CA (Hybrid – will transition to mostly on-site in Redondo Beach)

Compensation: $50,000 – $62,000 annually (DOE) + full benefits

About the Role

Are you the kind of person who finds satisfaction in precision — the one who spots a missing cent before anyone else notices?

We're looking for a Settlement Accounting Coordinator to take full ownership of the post-settlement process, ensuring every dollar moves accurately, compliantly, and on time.

This is your chance to be the heartbeat of a growing legal team — turning case victories into real-world results for clients. You'll coordinate between attorneys, clients, and accounting to make sure funds flow seamlessly, deadlines are met, and compliance standards are rock-solid.

What You'll Do

  • Own the full settlement workflow — from collecting signed releases to preparing settlement packages ready for final review.
  • Track payments and disbursements with meticulous accuracy, ensuring all due dates and compliance timelines are met.
  • Prepare client disbursement sheets calculating fees, expenses, liens, and final payouts with complete transparency.
  • Reconcile financial records and partner with accounting to approve checks, manage trust accounts, and maintain accurate ledgers.
  • Follow up and escalate overdue payments from defense counsel to protect clients' interests and firm revenue.
  • Communicate clearly with clients, attorneys, and partners about settlement statuses and timelines.

What We're Looking For

  • 1–3 years of experience in accounting, bookkeeping, or financial coordination (experience with legal or trust accounting a plus).
  • Strong understanding of settlement tracking, accounts payable/receivable, or disbursement reconciliation.
  • Tech-savvy across QuickBooks, FileVine, or similar case/accounting software.
  • Naturally organized — thrives on deadlines, details, and follow-up systems.
  • Strong communicator who can balance professionalism with empathy.
  • Self-starter who enjoys working both independently and collaboratively.

Why You'll Love It Here

  • Work that directly impacts clients' lives by ensuring financial justice is delivered accurately and on time.
  • Growth-minded culture built on accountability, integrity, and teamwork.
  • Competitive pay ($50K–$60K DOE) + bonuses.
  • Healthcare, 401(k) with match, unlimited PTO, and wellness benefits.
  • Modern office with hybrid flexibility and long-term career growth opportunities.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $50, $60,000.00 per year

Benefits:

  • 401(k) matching
  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
