Accounting & Finance Assistant

Full-time, on-site; potential for limited hybrid after tenure.

$80,000.00/yr - $90,000.00/yr

About the Opportunity

A long-established international investment firm with a strong record of employee longevity is seeking a highly experienced Accounting & Finance Assistant to support the firm's senior finance leadership. This position is ideal for a tenured professional who enjoys stability, structure, and working in a small, quiet office with a global organization behind it.

The role involves hands-on bookkeeping, financial statement support, tax coordination, and working closely with senior leadership on investor-related activities. This is not a high-turnover or high-pressure environment; it is best suited for someone who values consistency and long-term alignment.

Key Responsibilities
  • Support senior finance leadership with day-to-day accounting operations
  • Manage bookkeeping tasks, including journal entries, debits/credits, and trial balance activity in Quick Books
  • Assist with quarterly financial statement preparation (balance sheet, income statement, cash flow)
  • Prepare detailed spreadsheets and reporting packages for external tax and audit partners
  • Review basic tax documents, including returns and K-1s, to ensure accuracy and completeness
  • Maintain documentation, mail handling, engagement letters, and other administrative finance tasks
  • Serve as an on-site presence to support office continuity and investor-related needs
  • Ensure all work is completed with strong accuracy, attention to detail, and adherence to established processes
Qualifications
  • 15-20+ years of bookkeeping or accounting experience (degree optional)
  • Strong understanding of core financial statements (BS, IS, CF)
  • Familiarity with tax forms, returns, and K-1 structures
  • Advanced Excel proficiency
  • Quick Books experience required
  • Highly detail-oriented with the ability to follow established procedures consistently
  • Stable work history
  • Comfortable working independently in a small office environment
