Controller, Accounting, Financial Reporting

A sophisticated single-family office is seeking an experienced Controller to oversee the accounting and financial operations across its family office, investment fund, trust structure, investment entities, and affiliated organizations.

Dedicated to preserving and growing multi-generational capital, the family office manages a diverse portfolio of investments while supporting the long-term financial, operational, and governance needs of the family. Beyond financial capital, the organization places equal importance on developing its intellectual, social, and human capital, creating an environment built on stewardship, thoughtful decision-making, and long-term relationships.

Operating with the rigor and discipline of an institutional investment organization while maintaining the flexibility and entrepreneurial mindset of a private enterprise, the family office is seeking a Controller who will play a central role in building and maintaining best-in-class financial operations.
