• Partner with the Engineering team and participate in high-impact automation and technology projects to improve reporting efficiency and reduce manual work.

What We're Looking For

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Solid understanding of accounting rules and industry practices.

• Self-motivated with a strong team orientation.
• Strong project management skills, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple deliverables at once.
• Comfortable using technology to resolve problems efficiently, and open to automation and adapting to change

• Experience with alternative investments, private equity/partnership accounting and fund administration is a plus.
• Strong accounting and Excel skills; CPA or equivalent certification strongly preferred.
• Experience with credit and structured products (Bank Debt, HY Bonds, CLOs) is a plus.
