The SFO is continually evolving, providing a great opportunity for someone that likes taking on new challenges, creating new processes and procedures, and who is looking for a long-term career that will grow with the family over the long term, expanding in scope and trust as the office evolves. This role is expected to expand in scope and responsibility over time as the family office grows, with the opportunity to evolve into a more senior leadership position. This role is both strategic and hands-on, requiring comfort operating at a detailed level while also building scalable processes for a growing family office. The ideal candidate is someone with a strong interest in building and maintaining a best-in-class accounting governance framework, including the development of policies, internal controls, standardized workflows, and technology solutions for bill pay, accounts payable, cash disbursements and related financial operations.
