Description

A large, reputable family office that has been growing rapidly since it was founded, providing ongoing, personalized support to wealthy families, is looking for a Senior Manager to play an advisory role and act as a mentor to its team. You will report to a President, for whom we have already placed a candidate, who makes himself available to transfer his great skills despite his busy schedule, and who allows plenty of latitude. The corporate culture is young and focused on mutual support and human values. The values of respect, independence, excellence and innovation enable the company to stand out in the marketplace and with its customers. The position is offered in hybrid mode.

 

As a Senior Manager, you will plan and oversee the team's review of the overall accounting and financial management of individuals, their holding companies, trusts and foundations.

 

By building a close relationship with families over the years, you'll become their go-to person for financial and tax planning strategy, operational accounting, and management of their trusts and management companies. You'll need to have a good grasp of the family's entire business, and to have understood each of its operational and administrative facets through communication with your team members. If you're passionate about client relations, global strategic financial and tax planning, and complex wealth management, this new position is tailor-made for you.

 

You'll oversee the preparation of tax returns and financial, tax and estate planning. Your team will also take charge of certain clients' accounting files and transaction follow-up.

 

You will oversee the preparation of quarterly and annual financial statements, personal, corporate and trust tax returns, as well as annual foundation returns.

 

You will plan and review files prepared by advisors and directors, and participate in the development of financial, tax and estate planning strategy. You will also be involved in billing and the continuous improvement of internal processes.

 

You'll have a high profile with customers and be in the know. A superb opportunity to work in a professional environment surrounded by experts in tax, insurance, law, accounting and finance. This challenge is more than just a job; it's a chance to become President and Partner in the medium term!

 

You can hope to become a partner without having to sell mandates, but rather by advising your clients, who come in thanks to the firm's reputation and the exceptional services provided.
