Job description

We’re looking for a Vice President of Corporate Finance to take on a major leadership role within the management company of a leading global alternative investment firm. Reporting directly to the U.S. Controller, this person will help lead the firm’s U.S. Corporate Finance organization, with broad ownership across accounting and reporting, finance operations, controls, and transformation.

This is much more than a traditional controllership role. The VP will have visibility across the organization, work closely with senior finance and business leadership, and help shape how Corporate Finance operates as the firm continues to grow. It’s an opportunity for an experienced finance leader to inherit a strong platform while still having the mandate to improve processes, develop people, strengthen controls, and drive greater use of technology, automation, and AI.

• Broad exposure across a large, complex global alternative investment platform


• Oversight spanning corporate accounting, financial reporting, finance operations, controls, and transformation


• Significant interaction with senior finance leadership and business partners across the organization


• Opportunity to lead and develop experienced teams while influencing how the broader finance function operates


• Meaningful transformation mandate across process improvement, technology, automation, and AI


• Highly collaborative environment with a strong track record of internal growth and career mobility


• Up to $425k+ total compensation


• Strong annual performance bonus


• Generous profit sharing program, plus an additional long-term firm performance/profit-sharing opportunity at the VP level


• Comprehensive healthcare, retirement, family support, wellness, and other employee benefits


• Hybrid schedule with 3 days in the Boston office and 2 days remote

Key Responsibilities

• Partner closely with the U.S. Controller in leading the day-to-day U.S. Corporate Finance organization


• Oversee accounting and reporting across the management company, affiliated entities, balance sheet investments, and a regulated broker-dealer


• Lead consolidated and standalone financial reporting, external audits, covenant reporting, and other external deliverables


• Provide leadership across finance operations including AP, AR, expense allocations, invoicing, treasury, payments, and related processes


• Develop and mentor finance leaders and their teams across both onshore and offshore operations


• Partner across Finance, Tax, Legal, Compliance, Internal Audit, FP&A, and other business groups


• Evaluate processes and controls, identify areas of risk or inefficiency, and drive meaningful improvements


• Lead transformation initiatives involving technology, automation, AI, and more scalable ways of working

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field


• CPA required


• 15+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including significant leadership responsibility


• Strong background in U.S. GAAP, consolidated financial reporting, and complex accounting environments


• Experience within asset management, private equity, financial services, or another sophisticated management company environment strongly preferred
