A private family office in the Peninsula is looking for an experienced Family Office Accountant to join its growing team. This is a unique opportunity to step into a hands-on role supporting a multigenerational family with a significant and diversified investment portfolio. The family office is in the process of creating a more formal and streamlined infrastructure, so this person will have the opportunity to help build and improve processes rather than simply inherit an established accounting function.

What You'll Do

  • Oversee day-to-day family office accounting, including bill payment, general ledger activity, reconciliations, and financial reporting

  • Partner on the development and ongoing management of the annual family office budget

  • Coordinate with tax professionals, estate planning advisors, investment professionals, banks, and other external partners

  • Maintain accurate financial information and identify gaps, inconsistencies, or missing data

  • Help establish and improve accounting processes, controls, reporting, and documentation

  • Support various financial and administrative needs across the family office

  • Take ownership of special projects and other initiatives as the family office continues to evolve

  • Serve as a trusted resource to the family and its external advisors, bringing organization and follow-through to a wide range of responsibilities

Requirements

  • 5+ years of Family Office accounting experience

  • Strong foundation in general accounting, financial reporting, and financial operations

  • Experience working directly with a family, principal, or high-net-worth individual/family is highly preferred

  • Comfortable coordinating with outside CPAs, attorneys, investment professionals, banking partners, and other advisors

  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to understand the bigger picture

  • Comfortable working in an environment where priorities can shift and responsibilities may evolve
