We understand multigenerational family wealth in a way that few other wealth advisory firms do. Our comprehensive family office services include investment advisory, tax, trust and estate planning, risk management, philanthropy, household-level financial services as well as family education and family governance support.

THE ROLE

The Family Office Specialist is responsible for managing recurring accounting activities for assigned families and entities, applying sound judgment to routine accounting matters, and identifying and escalating issues that require additional guidance.

• Process capital calls and distributions and monitor liquidity for assigned entities.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

• Bachelor's degree in accounting or equivalent experience.
• Strong accounting foundation with the ability to understand the purpose behind accounting processes, not simply complete assigned tasks.
• Ability to independently manage recurring accounting responsibilities with accuracy, organization, and attention to deadlines.
• Sound judgment when addressing routine accounting matters, with the ability to recognize when an issue should be escalated.
• Experience preparing financial statements and supporting accounting across individuals, trusts, and multiple types of entities.
• Ability to prepare well-organized supporting documentation, tax schedules, and year-end workpapers.
• Experience preparing annual 1099/1096 filings.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple recurring priorities independently.

ATTRIBUTES WE VALUE:

• Demonstrated ownership of recurring work, proactively managing responsibilities through completion without prompting.
• Ability to multi-task, identify priority projects and shift attention accordingly.
• Sound judgment in resolving routine issues and recognizing when matters require timely escalation.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage a recurring workload independently.
• Clear, proactive communication and effective collaboration with the team.
