SMFO - Senior Accountant

Stella Maris Family Office•Shawnee, KS

7d•$75,000 - $90,000•Onsite

About The Position

The Senior Accountant is the day-to-day owner of the accounting function for the family office and its related entities. The role carries a complete set of books from transaction through reconciliation to a clean monthly close, maintains distinct records across multiple entities, and produces the cash and reporting information leadership relies on to make decisions. It blends hands-on ownership of the general ledger with the judgment expected of a senior individual contributor — someone who can close the month independently, catch what doesn't tie, and keep several sets of books cleanly separated.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
4+ years of progressive accounting experience, including full-cycle month-end close ownership.
Hands-on multi-entity accounting experience, including intercompany transactions.
Strong general-ledger and reconciliation skills and a working command of US GAAP.
Advanced Excel; proficiency with a major accounting system (e.g. QuickBooks, NetSuite).
High attention to detail and ownership — closes the month without being chased.
Discreet and trustworthy with sensitive financial information.
Organized enough to keep several entities straight at once and self-directed between review points.
Clear communicator who can give Accounting Manager, CFO, and President a straight answer on where things stand.

Nice To Haves

CPA (or active candidate).
Family office, holding company, or investment-entity experience.
Exposure to cash forecasting/treasury and to consolidations across related entities.
Private Equity Experience.

Responsibilities

Own the full-cycle general ledger: journal entries, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, and intercompany activity.
Execute the monthly close on a defined calendar — reconcile all balance-sheet accounts, book required accruals, and deliver a reconciled trial balance.
Prepare monthly financial statements and supporting schedules for review.
Maintain separate, clean sets of books for each entity in the structure, with correct intercompany elimination and no cross-contamination between entities.
Process and record intercompany transactions, allocations, and due-to/due-from balances so each entity stands on its own and consolidates correctly.
Build and maintain a rolling cash forecast across entities; track actual-versus-forecast and explain variances.
Manage cash operations — bank reconciliations, transfers, AP disbursements, and receipts — and flag liquidity needs ahead of time.
Prepare reporting packages and ad-hoc analysis for Drew and, as needed, for Ben and Paul.
Support year-end, tax preparation, and any audit or external accountant requests with clean workpapers.
Maintain internal controls and documentation over cash, journal entries, and the separation of entity records.
Other duties as may be assigned from time to time
