Partner directly with deal teams on fundings, exits, and valuation support
Interface with Investor Relations on LP reporting + ad hoc requests
Support cash management + credit facility activity
Drive process improvements + system initiatives (UAT, implementation workstreams)
Assist with month/quarter-end close and ongoing reporting deliverables
Work closely with senior leadership on strategic finance initiatives
Qualifications
Bachelor’s in Accounting / Finance (or similar)
5–10 years of experience (level-dependent) within:
Public accounting (Big 4 preferred), AND/OR
