Full description
Role Overview
Our family office supports the personal, business, and philanthropic affairs of our Founder and Chairman, along with a growing number of related entities. We're adding a second position to work directly alongside our long-tenured Founder's Accountant, who currently handles a full range of accounting and related personal/administrative functions for the Founder. As the number of entities under management has grown, so has the workload—this role will take on a meaningful share of both accounting and related administrative responsibilities, ensuring the Founder’s financial and entity matters continue to run smoothly, efficiently, and with the highest level of personal service.
Note: In addition to the Founder’s Accountant, the Founder has a dedicated Executive Assistant who handles his calendar, scheduling, and other traditional administrative duties, so those responsibilities are not part of this role.
This is an accounting-focused position with a meaningful, hands-on administrative and record-keeping component. The right candidate will be comfortable moving between accounting responsibilities and the related administrative tasks. This role suits someone who enjoys variety and takes pride in accurate financial work, as well as the organization, documentation, and recordkeeping that support it.
Key Responsibilities

Full-charge accounting across multiple personal and business entities (AP/AR, bank and credit card reconciliations, journal entries, month-end close)
-
Processing and tracking transfers and disbursements across entities, including coordination with banks and custodians
-
Preparing basic financial reports/statements for review by the Founder's Accountant and family office CFO
-
Maintaining clean, audit-ready books and supporting documentation

Administrative / Personal Support

Handling personal and business paperwork for the Founder — statements, contracts, entity documents, insurance and tax records
-
Coordinating with banks, vendors, and outside advisors (attorneys, CPAs, insurance agents, etc.) on financial and administrative matters
-
Supporting the Founder's dedicated Executive Assistant on tasks that intersect with accounting or entity recordkeeping
