Out client is a leading global private equity firm looking to hire an Accounting Associate for its Management Company accounting team in downtown Chicago.

What you'll do
- Handle general ledger accounting for several management company entities, including international entities
- Perform cash and balance sheet reconciliations, accounts payable and accounts receivable
- Support month-end and quarter-end close: journal entries, accruals, prepaids, depreciation and intercompany allocations
- Review employee expense reports for accurate coding and policy compliance
- Help prepare internal management reports, variance analyses and financial statements
- Support internal controls and respond to auditor requests
- Partner with the deal team, operations and other groups across the firm on special projects
What you'll bring
- Bachelor's degree in accounting
- 2–5 years of hands-on corporate accounting experience (audit-only backgrounds will not be considered)
- Polished, professional presence and strong communication skills for working with teams across the firm
- Strong attention to detail, organization and ownership of your work
- Willingness to learn and use AI tools and new technology
- Sage Intacct or similar accounting system experience a plus
- Financial services, asset management or private equity experience a plus, but not required
Schedule
- Hybrid: in the downtown Chicago office Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
