Prepare consolidated and entity‑level financial reporting, including sources and uses of cash tracking. Support strategic initiatives such as property acquisitions, liquidity planning, capital calls, and funding movements. Coordinate closely with internal wealth advisors and external legal, tax, and investment professionals to ensure alignment. Identify operational inefficiencies and implement process enhancements to improve reporting accuracy and workflow. Lead complex client projects, including entity onboarding, structural transitions, and major funding initiatives. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA preferred, CFP or CFA a plus. 7–10+ years of experience in family office, private wealth, public accounting, fund administration, or related financial services. Demonstrated success managing high‑touch client engagements with strong attention to detail and service orientation.
