Manager of Accounting Operations - Family Office

About the role

Our client is seeking a hands-on Manager of Accounting Operations to support the accounting, tax, and investment-related activities of a family office. This role is ideal for an accounting professional who enjoys working in a complex, multi-entity environment and has a strong understanding of how accounting transactions flow through to tax reporting. Unlike a traditional corporate accounting position focused primarily on financial statements and reporting, this role is heavily involved in the day-to-day accounting operations of a family office, including allocations, invoice processing, investment activity, tax coordination, and partnership reporting.

Responsibilities

• Oversee day-to-day accounting operations across multiple entities, accounts, and investment structures.
• Manage detailed accounting activities, including transaction processing, invoice management, reconciliations, and allocations.
• Support tax-related workflows, including coordination of tax information, K-1s, and year-end reporting requirements.
• Monitor and record investment activity, including transactions involving alternative investments and partnership structures.
• Maintain accurate books and records, ensuring transactions are properly documented and accounted for.
• Partner with tax advisors, investment professionals, and other stakeholders to ensure accurate and timely financial information.
• Support the flow of accounting information into tax preparation and reporting processes.
• Identify opportunities to improve accounting procedures, strengthen controls, and streamline operational workflows.
• Manage competing priorities while maintaining accuracy, organization, and confidentiality.

Qualifications

• Strong accounting foundation with an understanding of the accounting behind complex transactions.
• Family office experience strongly preferred.
• Experience in multi-entity accounting and partnership structures.
• Exposure to allocations, tax workflows, K-1s, investment activity, and alternative investments.
• Experience supporting high-net-worth individuals, private wealth clients, or investment-related entities is a plus.
• Understanding of how accounting records and transactions ultimately flow through to tax reporting.
• Comfortable working hands-on with detailed accounting and processing responsibilities.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Ability to handle sensitive financial information with discretion and confidentiality.
