    • Ensure accurate posting of journal entries, reconciliations, and financial schedules.
    • Support the preparation of internal financial statements and management reports.
  • Consolidation & Technical Support
    • Assist in consolidating financials across the firm's portfolio companies.
    • Contribute to the drafting of technical accounting memos and disclosures related to acquisitions, goodwill, and intangibles.
  • Acquisition Accounting & Integration
    • Support purchase price accounting for newly acquired entities.
    • Help integrate acquired businesses into corporate systems and accounting processes.
  • Audit & Compliance
    • Coordinate with external auditors, preparing audit-ready workpapers and reconciliations.

    • Support process automation initiatives and ERP optimization (experience with Sage Intacct is a plus).
  • Operational Insights & AP Oversight
    • Compile data to support weekly KPI reporting and financial performance analysis.
    • Oversee accounts payable processes to ensure accuracy and timeliness in financial operations.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA or CPA-track preferred.
  • 4-6 years of progressive corporate accounting experience, ideally in private equity, investment firms, or acquisitive businesses.
  • Must have multi-entity experience. Post-acquisition merger experience is highly desirable.
  • Strong understanding of GAAP, with experience in consolidations, technical accounting (ASC 805, ASC 842), and audit support.
  • Hands-on experience with ERP systems; Sage Intacct is a plus.
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, remote-first, acquisition-driven environment.
  • Strong Excel and communication skills; ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
