Financial Controller POST NUMBER: 472712
New York, NY (Midtown | Flexible, in-office culture)
There are roles that keep the lights on – and roles that quietly shape the trajectory of a firm. This is the latter.
A small, disciplined investment platform focused broadly on media and entertainment is seeking a finance leader to sit at the center of its operations. The team is thoughtful, low-ego, and intellectually curious – drawn as much to ideas as to outcomes. This is an opportunity for someone who prefers substance over noise: a builder, a steady hand, and a partner to the business. The Role
You will operate as the right hand to the CFO, with full visibility across both the management company and investment vehicles. This is a hands-on leadership role – equal parts oversight and execution – designed for someone who enjoys owning outcomes end-to-end. You’ll serve as the connective tissue between finance, investments, and operations, with responsibility for maintaining rigor while helping the firm scale thoughtfully. What You’ll Do
- Oversee external fund administration, ensuring precision across capital activity, reporting, and investor deliverables
- Own fund and management company accounting, maintaining clean, reliable financials
- Partner with the investment team on portfolio valuation and transaction support
- Lead budgeting, forecasting, and internal planning efforts
- Coordinate audits and workstreams with external advisors
- Uphold compliance standards and maintain operational discipline across the firm
- Contribute broadly – systems, processes, and occasional operational or HR-related initiatives
- 7-10 years of experience within private equity or venture capital environments
- Fluency across both fund accounting and management company accounting
- Experience overseeing third-party providers or reviewing others’ work product
- Strong grounding in audit (CPA preferred, but not required)
- A process-oriented mindset with the ability to build and refine infrastructure
- Willingness to lean in – this is a small team where titles matter less than ownership
This role tends to resonate with individuals who balance sharp thinking with a grounded presence. Who value momentum, but not at the expense of quality.
You’re likely:
- Self-directed, but collaborative
- Detail-oriented, without losing the bigger picture
- Ambitious, but not performative about it
- Meaningful scope in a lean, high-caliber team
- Direct exposure to investments, investors, and firm leadership
- The ability to shape systems and processes from the inside
- A platform that is growing, deliberately
- Base: $165,000 – $175,000
- Performance-based bonus
