Accounting Associate

Financial Accounting Associate

The associate will prepare and analyze monthly and annual financial statements and handle management and regulatory reporting for multiple legal entities in global capital markets. Accounting associates may also work on special projects that involve new fund launches, conduct historical analyses, field bespoke requests from various internal groups (including senior management and the front office), and work with our software developers to improve and reengineer our existing processes. This role will provide the opportunity to gain a macro view of the firm's financial activities, learn about complex legal entity structures and transactions, and enjoy substantial interaction with other internal departments, including Fund Accounting, Tax, Payroll, Legal, external third-party administrators, and software development groups.

Accounting associates will have two to four years of experience in public accounting or in an accounting or reporting function at a hedge fund, investment manager, or other financial services firm. A major or concentration in accounting and a CPA are prerequisites. Accounting associates should be proactive, detail-oriented, and organized individuals with an aptitude for accounting and a facility with numbers. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, an analytical approach to problem solving, and a rigorous work ethic are essential.
