Contribute investment-related inputs to monthly cash forecasting by estimating recurring income and anticipated trading activity to support liquidity planning.

Assist with annual audit activities for public securities across multiple entities by preparing support schedules, responding to requests, and coordinating documentation.

Prepare budget items related to marketable investments and present supporting analysis for annual planning discussions.

Build strong working knowledge of investment reporting tools such as Addepar to enhance accounting accuracy, reporting quality, and analytical support for the investment team.

Maintain effective relationships with brokers, custodians, and internal stakeholders while providing ad hoc financial analysis and supporting tax-basis tracking in partnership with the tax team. Requirements - Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.

Approximately 3 to 4 years of experience in accounting, middle-office operations, or a similar financial reporting environment.
