Job Details: Job Location: Family Office - Shawnee, KS - Shawnee, KS 66226-2284, Position Type: Full Time, Education Level: Bachelor's Degree, Salary Range: $75,000.00 - $90,000.00 Salary/year, Travel Percentage: None, Job Shift: Day, Job Category: Accounting - Finance, SENIOR ACCOUNTANT

Position Summary

The Senior Accountant is the day-to-day owner of the accounting function for the family office and its related entities. The role carries a complete set of books from transaction through reconciliation to a clean monthly close, maintains distinct records across multiple entities, and produces the cash and reporting information leadership relies on to make decisions. It blends hands-on ownership of the general ledger with the judgment expected of a senior individual contributor - someone who can close the month independently, catch what doesn't tie, and keep several sets of books cleanly separated.

Reporting Structure

Reports directly to: Accounting Manager. Accounting Manager sets priorities, reviews the close, and approves reporting deliverables.

Works closely with (indirect): CFO and President on cross-entity matters, investment and financing activity, and information requests. These are collaborative working relationships rather than formal reporting lines - the role supports their needs while remaining accountable to Drew.

Core Responsibilities

• Own the full-cycle general ledger: journal entries, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, and intercompany activity.
• Execute the monthly close on a defined calendar - reconcile all balance-sheet accounts, book required accruals, and deliver a reconciled trial balance.
• Prepare monthly financial statements and supporting schedules for review.

Multi-entity bookkeeping

• Maintain separate, clean sets of books for each entity in the structure, with correct intercompany elimination and no cross-contamination between entities.
• Process and record intercompany transactions, allocations, and due-to/due-from balances so each entity stands on its own and consolidates correctly.

Cash & treasury

• Build and maintain a rolling cash forecast across entities; track actual-versus-forecast and explain variances.
• Manage cash operations - bank reconciliations, transfers, AP disbursements, and receipts - and flag liquidity needs ahead of time.

Reporting, controls & support

• Prepare reporting packages and ad-hoc analysis for Drew and, as needed, for Ben and Paul.
• Support year-end, tax preparation, and any audit or external accountant requests with clean workpapers.
• Maintain internal controls and documentation over cash, journal entries, and the separation of entity records.
• Other duties as may be assigned from time to time.

Key Performance Indicators

Performance in this role is measured primarily on three deliverables:

Measurable

What good looks like

• Month-end close Close completed accurately and on the agreed calendar each month, with all balance-sheet accounts reconciled and reporting delivered on time.
• Cash forecasting A reliable rolling cash forecast maintained across entities; forecast-to-actual variances are small, explained, and surfaced early enough to act on.
• Segregating multiple sets of books Each entity’s books remain distinct, accurate, and audit-ready - intercompany ties out, and no entity’s activity bleeds into another.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, including full-cycle month-end close ownership.
• Hands-on multi-entity accounting experience, including intercompany transactions.
• Strong general-ledger and reconciliation skills and a working command of US GAAP.
• Advanced Excel; proficiency with a major accounting system (e.g. QuickBooks, NetSuite).

Preferred

• CPA (or active candidate).
• Family office, holding company, or investment-entity experience.
• Exposure to cash forecasting/treasury and to consolidations across related entities.
• Private Equity Experience.

Key Attributes

• High attention to detail and ownership - closes the month without being chased.
• Discreet and trustworthy with sensitive financial information.
• Organized enough to keep several entities straight at once and self-directed between review points.
• Clear communicator who can give Accounting Manager, CFO, and President a straight answer on where things stand.
