Job description

Leon Capital Group is a diversified holding company that builds, operates, and finances businesses across healthcare, real estate, financial services, insurance, and technology. Fernando De Leon founded the firm in Dallas in 2006, and its ownership has not changed hands since. Each operating company runs under its own name and leadership, backed by Leon’s long-term capital and the resources of the broader platform.

About Leon Financial Network

Leon Financial Network (LFN) partners with independent registered investment advisers (RIAs) and wealth management firms. LFN provides flexible capital and strategic resources—including support across M&A, technology and operations, talent, and investment-platform access—to help partner firms grow and scale while preserving their independence and culture. LFN manages a growing portfolio of these partnerships.

Position Overview

Leon is seeking a Senior Accountant to own the day-to-day accounting, administration, and reporting for Leon Financial Network. Senior leadership sets strategy and provides oversight; this person executes the work directly—from the close and reconciliations to partnership administration and the reporting that members, lenders, and partners rely on.

This is a high-ownership role for a technically strong accountant who thrives in a complex, multi-entity environment and brings the judgment to operate independently when the path forward is not always clearly defined. The right candidate has come up through public accounting, is comfortable managing competing priorities across multiple entities, and is as comfortable rolling up their sleeves on a reconciliation as they are presenting findings to senior leadership. This person will assess what exists, identify what is missing, and build the processes and controls that make the function run as the portfolio grows.

Key Responsibilities

Accounting, Close, and Reporting:

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close across the platform’s entities, including the general ledger, chart of accounts, and account and bank reconciliations.
• Prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) across multiple entities.
• Manage intercompany accounting and reconciliations across entities and individual partnerships.

Partnership Administration:

• Support the closing and onboarding of new partnerships, including setting up accounts, records, and documentation for each one.
• Maintain the accounting records for each partnership investment, including its equity or credit position, payment schedules, and key terms.
• Maintain amortization schedules and monitor covenant compliance and fee collection across the portfolio.
• Track key dates, milestones, and terms across the portfolio.

Reporting to Members and Partners:

• Prepare reporting packages for the company’s members, lenders, and partners.
• Calculate and process distributions to members, and produce the supporting statements and notices.
• Prepare capital account statements and investor correspondence.
• Track AUM, revenue, and financial performance across partner firms to support reporting.

Treasury and Cash Management:

• Open, track, and reconcile bank accounts across the platform and its partnerships.
• Track income streams and reconcile cash across partnerships and lending relationships.
• Forecast and monitor cash flow and liquidity to support distributions and reporting.

Audit, Tax, and Vendor Coordination:

• Coordinate external audit, tax, and legal vendors across entities and serve as a day-to-day point of contact.
• Support tax compliance and filings with outside advisors, and maintain entity-level records.
• Maintain current knowledge of relevant accounting standards and reporting requirements.

Controls, Systems, and Process:

• Assess existing accounting and administration processes and build or improve workflows where gaps exist.
• Design, document, and maintain internal controls, accounting policies, and procedures that scale as the portfolio grows.
• Contribute to systems improvements and the standardization of accounting practices, including the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
• Take on varied financial and operational projects as business needs require.

Qualifications & Experience

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 5–7 years of progressive accounting experience, with a foundation in public accounting strongly preferred.
• Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP, consolidations, and intercompany accounting.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple entities simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy and independence.
• Experience with account reconciliations, journal entries, and general ledger ownership across a multi-entity portfolio.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and experience with accounting software (Intacct, Sage, Yardi, or comparable platforms).
• Willingness to own execution personally, from journal entries to leadership and investor reporting.

Preferred:

• CPA, or actively pursuing CPA certification.
• Experience in investment management, wealth management, fund administration, or other financial services.
• Exposure to fund or partnership accounting, including distributions and capital accounts.
• Experience in a multi-industry, multi-entity, family office, or holding company environment.
• Background supporting private investment–backed or closely held operating companies.

Ideal Background

Strong candidates often come from one of these paths:

• Senior accountant or accounting manager at a fund administrator, private investment firm, or family office with multiple entities and investments.
• Senior accountant at an outsourced accounting or fractional CFO firm with concurrent responsibility for multiple sets of books.
• Senior accountant supporting a wealth management, RIA, or other financial services platform.
• Audit senior or manager in public accounting who is moving into an in-house role.

Why Leon

• A long horizon. Roles are built for people who want to improve a business over years, not a fixed fund cycle.
• Founder-led culture. Team members have direct access to executive leadership and real decision-making authority.
• Operators first. Finance stays close to the profit and loss (P&L), the market, and the people running each business.
• Room to grow. As the first dedicated finance hire for a growing platform, this role offers a clear path to leadership within Leon Financial Network and across the broader Leon platform.
• AI-native mandate. Every team member is expected to be a power user building toward AI-enabled work.
• Total rewards. Leon offers competitive compensation and a total rewards package.
