A premier, global financial services firm is seeking an Accounting Manager for a 3-6 month consulting engagement supporting a fast-growing U.S. asset management business. This is a high-visibility opportunity working directly with senior finance leadership (Global Controller & CFO level) in a lean, collaborative environment.
What You'll Own:
• Full monthly close cycle — balance sheet, P&L, and cash flow
• Daily accounting operations: cash management, AP, T&E
• Short-term cash flow forecasting
• Coordination with external fund administrators to obtain AUM data, management/incentive fees, and distributions
• EBITDA-style management reporting for leadership
• Support for quarterly SEC reporting and annual audits
• Intercompany/allocated cost accuracy across global teams
• Process and controls improvement as the business scales
What We're Looking For:
• 5-10+ years of accounting experience, ideally including exposure to hedge funds, private equity, or asset management (Big 4 or public accounting background a strong plus)
• Open to strong accountants from asset management, financial services, or corporate accounting backgrounds without direct fund accounting experience
• CPA preferred but not required
• Comfortable owning a full close cycle independently while also seeing the bigger picture
• Strong communicator across internal teams, external administrators, auditors, and senior leadership
• Systems experience with NetSuite, Bill.com, and/or Smartsheet a plus
