CORPORATE FINANCE GROUP

The Corporate Finance Group consists of 25 individuals and is responsible for the day-to-day accounting for the Global Management Company. Our general ledger and enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform is Workday Financials. The Global Management Company consolidates the operations of the Investment Advisors (one for each business: Private Equity, Credit, Ventures, Public Equity, Double Impact, Life Sciences, Real Estate, and Partnership Strategies) and the entities by geography including Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Australia), Europe (London, Dublin, Munich and South Africa) and India (Mumbai and Mauritius). The Corporate Finance Group is also responsible for tax accounting and works closely with the Tax Department on Tax Reporting. Various other responsibilities within the group include the treasury and cash management function, internal reporting, external reporting, accounts receivable, accounts payable and fixed assets.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

The Finance Associate will join a structured program across the Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR) functions of the Global Management Company. The position is designed to give the Associate end-to-end exposure to how money moves through the firm: supplier invoices, employee expense reimbursement, and corporate payments on the AP side, and the billing, collection, and reimbursement of deal, fund, and portfolio company expenses on the AR side.

Together, AP and AR capture every dollar the business spends and every dollar it recovers from external parties. Because all of this activity posts to the general ledger through Workday, the Associate will develop a detailed working knowledge of the journal-level data that drives the firm's accounting, close, and reporting processes.

The Associate will have exposure to both functions and will have the opportunity to take on broader Corporate Finance responsibilities (quarter-end close, reporting, treasury) as performance allows. We are looking for someone who is smart, capable, and comfortable in a fast-paced, high-volume environment where accuracy and timeliness both matter.
