• Prepare and present financial reports to senior leadership and external stakeholders.
• Coordinate audits, tax compliance, and banking relationships in partnership with external advisors.
• Support transaction activity, including due diligence, structuring, and post-close integration.
• Develop financial models, cash flow analyses, and investor reporting materials.
• Enhance internal controls, systems, and processes to support continued growth.
• Act as a key liaison with lenders, investors, auditors, and other third parties.
Qualifications:
• CPA designation required with strong knowledge of GAAP.
• 5–8+ years of experience in accounting or finance; public accounting background preferred.
• Experience with multi-entity structures, consolidated reporting, or investment-related accounting.
• Strong Excel and financial modeling skills; familiarity with common accounting platforms.
• Prior exposure to real estate, private equity, or investment management is a plus.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to interact effectively with senior stakeholders.
• Self-starter mindset with a high degree of ownership and accountability.
