What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Accountant position at Sower Investment Partners?
Sower Investment Partners is seeking a Senior Accountant who brings the rigor of public accounting and the agility to thrive in a fast-moving investment environment. This is a high-visibility role with direct impact on fund-level financial integrity across a portfolio of investment and holding companies. You will own complex intercompany accounting, treasury operations, and month-end close processes, with room to grow as the firm scales.
This role is ideal for a CPA or CPA-track professional with audit or public accounting experience who is ready to step out of the billable hour model and into a seat where your work directly shapes the financial reporting of a growing alternative investment firm.
Sower Investment Partners is an Omaha-based alternative asset firm managing a diversified family of investment funds across four verticals: Farmland, Commercial Real Estate, Private Credit, and Ventures. We bring together disciplined investment strategy, entrepreneurial talent, and co-investment alignment to unlock value for our investors. Our team operates with the focus of a boutique and the discipline of an institution, and we are growing.
What You Will Do
- Own accurate, timely financial reporting across investment and holding company entities in compliance with GAAP and internal policies.
- Record and reconcile monthly intercompany expenses and fees across multiple subsidiaries, managing intercompany suspense accounts.
- Prepare month-end journal entries for prepaid expenses, interest, property insurance, rent, and other items as needed.
- Assist with treasury operations, including ACH transactions, wires, and borrowing base preparation.
- Administer property sales processes: coordinating timely cash receipt and accurate recording of transactions in NetSuite.
- Assist with equity ownership changes for commercial and residential properties, working alongside external property management companies.
- Drive continuous improvement of accounting systems, workflows, and internal controls to enhance efficiency, scalability, and accuracy.
- Develop and maintain clear, written accounting policies and procedures.
What We Are Looking For

- Bachelor’s degree in accounting or related field with 4 to 6 years of progressive accounting experience.
- Public accounting or audit experience; current or former CPA firm background strongly preferred.
- Advanced Excel proficiency and strong command of Microsoft Office Suite.
- Deep working knowledge of GAAP and a high standard for accuracy.
- Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities, meet deadlines, and see projects through to completion.

Preferred
- Active CPA license or CPA-eligible.
- Minimum two years of real estate fund accounting experience, including acquisitions, dispositions, and rental properties.
- Proficiency in NetSuite.
- Experience in a fast-paced, multi-entity or fund environment.
Why Sower
- Exposure to a diversified portfolio of alternative assets spanning farmland, commercial real estate, private credit, and venture investments.
