This is a hands-on, high-variety role that will expose you to the full arc of a PE-backed company's early financial life.

The Portfolio Accounting Manager will work directly under the Senior Director of Accounting & Audit, supporting active portfolio company embeds across bookkeeping, month-end close, and controller-level accounting.

• Comfort working across multiple entities and switching context frequently

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA or CPA-track preferred but not required
• Ability to work in a fast-moving environment where processes are often being built, not inherited

Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate books for 2-4 portfolio companies at a time, spanning industries including facilities services, outdoor recreation, food distribution, and other services verticals
• Own the month-end close process for assigned entities, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial statement preparation
