- 2 to 4 years of relevant experience in public accounting (audit or advisory) or a corporate accounting/controllership function within financial services.
- Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and month-end close processes, including journal entries, accrual accounting, and account reconciliations.
- Ability to reconcile and analyze data across multiple systems and sources.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to assess the reasonableness of balances and identify unusual trends or variances.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain accounting concepts and financial results to non-financial stakeholders.
- Experience with corporate expense accounting and accrual management in a multi-entity environment.
- Experience supporting external audits within a multi-entity organization.
- Hands-on experience with ERP and financial consolidation systems such as Workday Financials, NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, Hyperion, OneStream, or Anaplan.
- Required
- High level of accuracy, attention to detail, and accountability in a deadline-driven environment.
- Preferred
- CPA designation or active progress toward CPA certification.
- Exposure to alternative asset management, including private credit, private equity, or real assets.
- Understanding of management company and fund-level accounting structures.
