Job Description

Assistant Controller – Ownership Accounting



Salary: $125K–$140K + 20% Bonus



Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • Rare opportunity to step into a leadership role within a sophisticated private family office and work closely with senior leadership.

  • Oversee accounting and financial operations across a diverse portfolio of entities, trusts, real estate, and private investments.

  • Broader scope than a traditional Assistant Controller role with exposure to investment operations, treasury, liquidity planning, tax, and strategic financial analysis.

  • High-visibility position with the opportunity to provide meaningful financial insight supporting investment and long-term planning decisions.

  • Join a highly established, privately held organization with a long-term ownership mindset and strong opportunities for professional growth.



Assistant Controller – Key Responsibilities:



  • Lead accounting and financial reporting across multiple entities, trusts, partnerships, LLCs, and investment structures.

  • Prepare and review financial reporting and analysis for senior leadership while overseeing annual reporting processes.

  • Manage treasury and liquidity planning, including cash forecasting, capital funding, debt servicing, and other significant transactions.

  • Oversee accounting and reporting for marketable securities, private equity, real estate, and alternative investments.

  • Partner with internal teams and external advisors while mentoring accounting staff and driving process and reporting improvements.



Assistant Controller – Qualifications:



  • 7–10+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience with strong multi-entity, investment, and financial reporting experience; family office exposure is highly valued.

  • CPA required with strong treasury/cash forecasting and advanced Excel/financial analysis capabilities.

  • Prior experience leading people, projects, and/or external advisor relationships with the executive presence to work directly with senior stakeholders.
