Position Description We are seeking an experienced Accounting Manager – Income & Yield Forecasting to join PIMCO's Accounting and Yield Services (PAY) Group. This team is responsible for operating PIMCO's proprietary income and yield forecasting platform (PAY), which provides forward-looking income forecasting, accounting analysis, and decision-support insights across a broad range of investment products and strategies. PAY is used by the Executive Office, Portfolio Managers, Product Strategists, Fund Management, and other senior stakeholders to evaluate expected income, yield, distributions, and related outcomes, helping to inform portfolio positioning, distribution planning, risk assessment, and strategic business decisions.

This is a highly visible and hands-on role at the intersection of investments, accounting, forecasting, and analytics. The successful candidate will lead a team of forecasting professionals while providing oversight of outsourced service providers supporting the function. In addition to team leadership responsibilities, this individual will serve as a subject matter expert on income and yield forecasting, providing analyses and insights to Portfolio Managers, Product Strategists, Executive Leadership, Boards, and other senior stakeholders.

Success in the role requires a broad understanding of investment strategies and a deep appreciation of how portfolio positioning, security selection, market conditions, accounting outcomes, and business decisions influence forecast assumptions and results. The ideal candidate is willing to roll up their sleeves and actively engage in the work, diving into complex data, investigating anomalies, challenging assumptions, and understanding the underlying drivers behind forecast results.

The successful candidate will combine strong technical accounting and investment expertise with analytical rigor, intellectual curiosity, and sound judgment. This role is as much about investigative problem-solving and decision support as it is about forecasting. We are seeking someone who enjoys research, gets to the root cause of issues, and translates complex findings into clear, actionable insights that help stakeholders make better decisions.

The ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and credibly to sophisticated audiences is critical.

This is an opportunity to help lead and scale a critical forecasting capability that supports some of the firm's most important investment and business decisions. The Accounting Manager will play an important role in the continued evolution of PIMCO's proprietary forecasting platform and related business processes, requiring close collaboration with technology teams, data providers, and business partners.

This role offers the opportunity to develop deep expertise across a broad range of investment products and strategies, lead a high-impact team, help shape a critical forecasting function, and directly influence investment and business decisions across the firm.
