POSITION SUMMARY

The Director, Financial Planning & Analysis, leads the financial planning, reporting, tax coordination, and investment administration functions for the family office. This individual serves as the principal financial point of contact for the family, overseeing recurring reporting cycles, tax strategy execution, investment diligence and administration, and supporting estate and wealth transfer planning in close partnership with outside tax, legal, and investment advisors.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter with expertise across financial planning, tax, and investment administration, capable of managing complex and highly confidential information while driving process improvement. This role requires exceptional attention to detail, sound financial judgment, and the discretion to manage sensitive personal financial matters directly with the family's principals and outside advisors.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Financial Reporting & Cash Management (Approx. 25%)

  • Oversee preparation and review of recurring reporting deliverables, including weekly consolidated cash reporting, monthly unfunded-commitment reporting, and quarterly net asset and investment schedules across all reporting entities
  • Direct the build and maintenance of the 10-year financial projection model, including the bridge reconciling projections to the weekly cash position
  • Manage the annual budgeting cycle and monthly budget-to-actual reporting, providing high-level review and commentary for principal review
  • Oversee quarterly reporting for family trusts and related entities, and coordinate monthly and inception-to-date reporting for donor-advised fund activity
  • Respond to and manage ad hoc financial reporting requests as they arise

Tax Strategy & Compliance (Approx. 20%)

  • Own the quarterly estimated tax payment process, working directly with outside tax advisors to determine current-quarter payments and revise full-year forecasts; review and approve recommendations before submission to principals
  • Maintain and review the annual tax summary model, ensuring it reconciles to underlying K-1 and entity-level trackers
  • Lead the annual tax return review process: populate and validate draft return data against the tax model, identify variances, and manage resolution with outside preparers

Investment Management Support (Approx. 20%)

  • Lead diligence coordination on new investment opportunities: circulate data room materials, evaluate commitment timing and constraints, assess qualified small business stock (QSBS) eligibility, and determine appropriate investing entity structure, including use of blocker entities
  • Manage execution of new investments, including submission of indications of interest, coordination of legal review, and completion of subscription documentation
  • Ensure consistent attendance and note-taking at existing portfolio company and manager update calls/meetings, with timely circulation of summaries
  • Review monthly liquid manager performance reporting
  • Evaluate and make recommendations on discrete investment decisions, tracking performance against relevant benchmarks

Estate & Wealth Transfer Planning Support (Approx. 15%)

  • Partner with estate counsel and principals to plan and execute estate documentation changes, including trustee and beneficiary updates and trust restructurings, including any required financial modeling
  • Prepare materials and agendas for principal planning meetings; maintain supporting asset-change summaries and meeting documentation
  • Model proposed estate and gifting strategies and present options to principals to support decision-making
