    • Preparation of internal reporting packages (e.g., P&L, balance sheet, key schedules)

  • Support recurring fund workflows such as expense allocations and reimbursement support (maintaining workpapers, gathering inputs, organizing documentation).

  • Assist with recurring fund calculations and fee-related support, in coordination with internal stakeholders and external service providers.

  • Support AP/AR workflows including invoice tracking, payment coordination, and issue resolution across entities.

  • Assist with vendor-related administration such as onboarding, renewals tracking, invoice reviews, and approval workflows.

  • Maintain organized supporting documentation and help keep processes well-documented and repeatable.

2) Treasury & Cash Management

  • Monitor cash position and help maintain visibility into expected inflows/outflows across entities.

  • Support payment timing coordination, transfers, and cash planning views to ensure smooth execution.

3) Additional Support

  • Contribute to process improvements and automation initiatives for recurring finance operations work.

 

Qualifications

Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting.

  • 1–3 years of experience in accounting, finance operations, or a similar role with hands-on close responsibilities.

  • Strong accounting fundamentals (reconciliations, month-end close, financial statements).

  • Strong Excel skills; comfortable handling structured datasets and performing analysis.

Preferred

  • Fund accounting experience or tax background (e.g., partnership/K-1 support, fund expense allocations, working with external tax providers).

  • Familiarity with process improvement and automation initiatives.

 

Working Style

  • High attention to detail, strong ownership mindset, and ability to manage recurring deadlines.

  • Able to balance recurring execution work with occasional analytical projects.

  • Proactive about improving documentation, controls, and process clarity.
