Work schedule: US business hours.
About the Role
We are hiring a hands-on Senior Accounting & Financial Reporting Analyst to support multiple portfolio companies across core accounting operations, financial reporting, and process standardization.
This is a senior individual contributor role, not a people management position. You will be responsible for executing high-quality accounting and reporting work, while also acting as a reliable second layer of review and support for junior team members.
This role sits within a private equity operating team and focuses on building reliable financial infrastructure across a portfolio of businesses. You will work in a fast-paced, evolving environment where priorities shift and processes are not always fully defined.
What You'll Do
Core Accounting & Reporting
- Own end-to-end accounting processes across multiple entities, including:
- Month-end close
- Account reconciliations
- Financial reporting packages
- Prepare and maintain accurate financial statements in accordance with US GAAP
- Build and improve financial reporting packages for portfolio companies
- Ensure all reporting is accurate, complete, and ties out to underlying data
Process Improvement & Standardization
- Support financial cleanup efforts (prior-period adjustments, chart of accounts optimization)
- Help standardize reporting templates and workflows across entities
- Identify inefficiencies and contribute to process improvements and automation
- Improve consistency and quality of financial data across reporting
Portfolio & Business Support
- Support CFOs and Controllers with financial reporting and integration efforts
- Assist with onboarding new portfolio companies into reporting structures
- Contribute to building scalable finance processes across the portfolio
Team Support (Non-Managerial)
- Review work produced by junior team members for accuracy and completeness
- Help team members work through issues and unblock challenges
- Provide guidance and structure, without formal management responsibilities
- Act as a dependable go-to resource for problem-solving and quality control
What We're Looking For
Experience
- 6–9 years of experience in accounting, audit, or client accounting
- Strong background in:
- Financial reporting
- Month-end close
- Experience working with US-based clients and US GAAP
- Prior experience in public accounting (Big 4 or equivalent) preferred
- Some experience reviewing work or mentoring others (not required to have managed a team)
Ideal Profile
- Started in Big 4 or similar environment, then moved into hands-on accounting or client-facing roles
- Has operated in environments where processes are evolving, not fully structured
- Comfortable solving new problems rather than following a fixed playbook
- Has taken ownership of financial reporting and understands how outputs are used
Skills & Strengths
- Strong understanding of financial statements and accounting principles
- High attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
- Ability to manage multiple entities and shifting priorities
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work through ambiguity
- Clear and proactive communication style
- Comfortable reviewing own work and ensuring quality before submission
What Success Looks Like
- Produces accurate, reliable financial reporting with minimal oversight
- Able to operate independently in a fast-paced environment
- Improves output quality of the broader team through review and support
- Helps build structure and consistency across reporting processes
Compensation
- Target range: $2,600 – $3,300/month (USD)
- Some flexibility for stronger candidates with more client-facing or ownership experience
Important Note
This role is best suited for someone who enjoys hands-on work, ownership, and problem-solving, rather than managing a team.
