• Finance, SENIOR ACCOUNTANT Single-Family Office (SMFO) Position Senior Accountant Function Family Office Accounting & Finance Reports to Family Office Accounting Manager Works closely with Family Office CFO & President (cross-functional, indirect) Employment type Full-time, exempt Location On-site (Not Remote) Position Summary The Senior Accountant is the day-to-day owner of the accounting function for the family office and its related entities. The role carries a complete set of books from transaction through reconciliation to a clean monthly close, maintains distinct records across multiple entities, and produces the cash and reporting information leadership relies on to make decisions. It blends hands-on ownership of the general ledger with the judgment expected of a senior individual contributor — someone who can close the month independently, catch what doesn't tie, and keep several sets of books cleanly separated. Reporting Structure Reports directly to: Accounting Manager. Accounting Manager sets priorities, reviews the close, and approves reporting deliverables. Works closely with (indirect): CFO and President on cross-entity matters, investment and financing activity, and information requests. These are collaborative working relationships rather than formal reporting lines — the role supports their needs while remaining accountable to Drew. Core Responsibilities General ledger & month-end close Own the full-cycle general ledger: journal entries, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, and intercompany activity. Execute the monthly close on a defined calendar — reconcile all balance-sheet accounts, book required accruals, and deliver a reconciled trial balance. Prepare monthly financial statements and supporting schedules for review. Multi-entity bookkeeping Maintain separate, clean sets of books for each entity in the structure, with correct intercompany elimination and no cross-contamination between entities. Process and record intercompany transactions, allocations, and due-to/due-from balances so each entity stands on its own and consolidates correctly. Cash & treasury Build and maintain a rolling cash forecast across entities; track actual-versus-forecast and explain variances. Manage cash operations — bank reconciliations, transfers, AP disbursements, and receipts — and flag liquidity needs ahead of time. Reporting, controls & support Prepare reporting packages and ad-hoc analysis for Drew and, as needed, for Ben and Paul. Support year-end, tax preparation, and any audit or external accountant requests with clean workpapers. Maintain internal controls and documentation over cash, journal entries, and the separation of entity records. Other duties as may be assigned from time to time Key Performance Indicators Performance in this role is measured primarily on three deliverables: Measurable What good looks like Month-end close Close completed accurately and on the agreed calendar each month, with all balance-sheet accounts reconciled and reporting delivered on time. Cash forecasting A reliable rolling cash forecast maintained across entities; forecast-to-actual variances are small, explained, and surfaced early enough to act on. Segregating multiple sets of books Each entity's books remain distinct, accurate, and audit-ready — intercompany ties out, and no entity's activity bleeds into another.
