  • Account for the firm's GP investments: capital contributions, distributions, and investment activity
  • Own the annual audit with the external auditors, including schedules and support
  • Support regulatory, tax, and compliance reporting
  • Tighten controls and streamline close and reporting workflows
  • Get more out of NetSuite and the rest of the finance stack

What you bring

  • CPA (required)
  • 5 to 10 years of accounting experience, ideally starting in public accounting
  • Strong U.S. GAAP, GL, close, and financial statement skills
  • Hands-on audit support experience
  • Experience leading, reviewing, or training other accountants
  • Strong Excel

Nice to have

  • Asset management, hedge fund, private equity, or trading firm experience
  • GP investment, partnership, or investment-related accounting
  • NetSuite (or a similar GL) and Concur

Details

  • Direct exposure to the CFO and a clear path to grow
