Be Part Of A High-Performing Team
Join a well-established financial services organization dedicated to long-term financial security and disciplined investment management. The Investment Controllership function operates as a centralized shared services team responsible for all U.S. GAAP and U.S. Statutory accounting and reporting for a diverse investment portfolio.
This team partners closely with Finance across multiple product lines and plays a direct role in supporting investment strategy execution. With approximately 30 professionals across Investment Controllership—and 11 within this manager’s direct oversight—the group operates in a highly collaborative, deadline-driven environment focused on accuracy, controls, and continuous process improvement. The culture values adaptability, strong communication, and professionals who can quickly learn new concepts while contributing immediately to close and reporting cycles.
What's In Store For You
- Two contract openings supporting Investment Controllership
- Approximately 6-month engagement with potential visibility into longer-term needs
- Direct exposure to complex investment portfolios including Fixed Income and Alternative Assets
- Hands-on involvement in close, reconciliations, controls, reporting, and automation workflows
- Lean interview process (single round with Hiring Manager)

- Support month-end and quarter-end close processes for investment portfolios
- Prepare and post manual journal entries and perform detailed account reconciliations
- Execute and support SOX control processes, including preparation of documentation for management review
