Join to apply for the Senior Manager - Financial Planning & Analysis (Remote) role at Ellis Porter - The Immigration Attorneys

At Ellis Porter, our goal is to improve the immigration experience for employers and individuals so they can thrive in a smaller world. To do this, we've built a team of dedicated immigration professionals (we call ourselves Porters) who believe passionately in the economic and cultural benefits that immigration provides to America, and who excel at providing our clients with refreshingly clear guidance, uniquely creative strategies, and remarkably responsive service, all with genuine empathy and a personal touch.

Immigration law is very complex and full of constant challenges, but the Ellis Porter team loves what we do, and who we do it with, and we find great satisfaction in knowing that our work positively and intimately impacts our clients’ lives and companies.

Our Culture:
We’re also immensely proud of (and protective of) our culture at Ellis Porter. It’s not what you would expect from a typical law firm, because we’re not a typical law firm. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We don’t tolerate drama, and jerks are not allowed. And we’ve built a wonderfully diverse team of Porters who reflect the diversity of the clients we serve.

As our team continues to grow, we’ve remained committed to cultivating an inspiring, authentic, comfortable, and flexible work environment where you are respected, encouraged to bring your whole self to work, and challenged to continue your growth as a professional in the legal immigration field.

As Ellis Porter continues to rapidly expand, we are seeking an experienced and innovative Senior Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) to join our team. This pivotal, hands‑on leader will collaborate closely with our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to build out the FP&A function, incorporating both best practices and our distinctive culture and business needs. The Senior Manager of FP&A will develop and lead forecasting, budgeting, and financial modeling processes to support our firm’s continued growth and innovation, and will instill an environment of data‑driven strategic decision‑making.

This role will collaborate closely with our Executive Leadership team, as well as Practice and Operations Leaders to align financial strategies with operational goals, and support our culture and mission of providing exceptional immigration legal services to our clients.

The Unique Opportunity:
This role offers the entrepreneurial experience of building something new with the stability and resources of an established, profitable firm. Founded in 2003, Ellis Porter still embraces a startup mentality. We’ve experienced considerable growth over the past seven years, and we’ve become the fifth largest immigration law firm in the US – but we don’t plan on stopping there. Our people‑centric culture and service delivery philosophies are revolutionizing our industry, and demand for our services continues to skyrocket.

It’s an exciting time at Ellis Porter, and this is an excellent opportunity for you to join us as our first FP&A leader. This Senior Manager will have high visibility with executive leadership, direct impact on strategic decisions, and the autonomy to shape how FP&A supports our ambitious growth plans. The role is initially positioned as a Senior Manager, with clear opportunity for advancement to a Director as the firm scales and the FP&A function matures.

This position can be fully remote from any U.S. location, or based in either our Troy, MI or Ann Arbor, MI office as an in‑person or hybrid role. Please note - although this role can be remote, all work must be performed within the United States.
