About the Investment Management Company / The Opportunity:

My client, one of the fast-moving, growth-stage finance companies in the lending space, is looking to hire a Senior Accountant. You will sit right beside the Controller with real ownership of the numbers and a direct line to leadership. It is a lean, high-caliber finance team where your work gets seen.

This is a hands-on processing and reporting role with a heavy close focus. It is not a tax seat and not a strategy seat. You will be the person who makes sure the books tie out across multiple entities, every month, without being chased.

If you want more scope than a big-company role gives you, this is it. Benefits include fully employer-funded medical, flexible PTO, and a hybrid schedule in Chicago or NYC.

Responsibilities:

• Reconcile lending and investment balances to outside statements and run down every variance
• Consolidate multiple entities and clear inter-company balances so they tie out
• Keep your schedules audit-ready year-round and work directly with outside auditors
• Turn out financial statements and the supporting schedules leadership relies on
• Own the month-end and year-end close timeline from first entry to final tie-out
• Write down how things work and fix what is clunky as you go
• Keep billing and cash application moving so receivables stay current

Run daily payables with sharp coding, clean approvals, and no month-end surprises

Must-Have Skills:

• A hands-on accountant who takes pride in clean books and closes on time without hand-holding
• Bachelor’s degree in accounting and 3+ years of progressive experience
• Financial services industry background
• Multi-entity consolidation and inter-company accounting experience
• Month-end close experience
• Daily AP and financial statement preparation experience

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• CPA designation or progress toward CPA certification.
• Familiarity with CECL or the allowance for credit losses.
• Experience with QuickBooks Online, Bill.com, Salesforce, or Google Workspace.
• Comfort using AI tools to improve productivity and accuracy.
