SENIOR ACCOUNTANT

Single-Family Office (SMFO)

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
