Financial Assistant to the CEO

New York, New York, United States

Overview:

We are seeking a highly organized, discreet, and proactive Financial Assistant to the CEO to oversee day-to-day financial operations and provide comprehensive support for personal financial matters. This role combines traditional bookkeeping responsibilities with hands-on personal financial management in a fast-paced, high-trust environment.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, resourceful, and capable of managing sensitive information with the utmost confidentiality. This individual will work closely with the CEO, financial institutions, and external advisors to ensure seamless financial operations across both business and personal affairs.

This is a hybrid position, requiring a minimum of three days per week in-office. The role also requires a high degree of flexibility, including availability outside standard business hours (evenings and occasional weekends), particularly when the CEO is traveling or urgent matters arise.

What You'll Do:

Bookkeeping & Financial Operations

  • Record, categorize, and maintain accurate financial transactions
  • Monitor and reconcile bank accounts and credit card statements
  • Process payments, invoices, and expense reimbursements
  • Manage accounts payable and accounts receivable
  • Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports
  • Assist with tax preparation and coordinate with external accountants and advisors

Personal Financial Support

  • Liaise with banks, accountants, and internal financial teams to execute transactions
  • Track and manage recurring expenses (utilities, subscriptions, insurance, etc.)
  • Maintain well-organized financial records, including receipts, statements, and key documents
  • Oversee bill payments and ensure timely settlement of all obligations
  • Monitor and manage important financial deadlines (tax filings, renewals, policy reviews)
  • Respond promptly to time-sensitive or urgent financial matters, including during evenings or weekends when necessary

Tax Support & Coordination

  • Organize and maintain accurate, audit-ready financial records and documentation to support tax preparation
  • Apply a solid working knowledge of tax-sensitive financial items—including expense categorization, income types, and common tax documents (e.g., K-1s)—to proactively identify relevant items and support accurate reporting
  • Serve as the primary liaison with external accountants and tax advisors, ensuring timely and efficient communication
  • Track and manage key tax deadlines, filings, and estimated payments to ensure full compliance
  • Proactively monitor financial activity throughout the year to ensure completeness and readiness for tax reporting

What You Have:

  • Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience in bookkeeping, financial administration, and tax support or a similar role
  • Experience supporting executives or high-net-worth individuals strongly preferred
  • Working knowledge of tax preparation, filings, and coordination with accountants is required
  • Strong understanding of both personal and business financial management
  • Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
  • High level of discretion and ability to handle confidential information
  • Proactive, responsive, and able to anticipate needs in a dynamic environment
  • Strong communication skills and ability to coordinate with multiple stakeholders
  • Flexibility and willingness to be available outside standard business hours when needed

Additional Notes

This role is best suited for someone who thrives in a highly personalized, fast-moving environment and is comfortable operating with a strong sense of ownership and accountability. It is not a strictly 9–6 position, and responsiveness during off-hours is expected when urgent situations arise.

What We Offer:

The annual base salary range for this position is $90,000 to $120,000. Additionally, this position is eligible for an annual discretionary bonus based on performance.

You will also be eligible for the following benefits:

  • 15 PTO days, 10 legal holidays, and sick days
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans
  • Will match up to 10% of employee contribution for 401(k), life insurance, paid time-off and parental leave plans
  • Commuter benefits and a corporate gym rate
  • Development opportunities through the LinkedIn Learning platform
  • Free snacks and beverages in the office
  • Friday happy hour and “Summer Fridays”
  • Year-round corporate athletic league
  • Casual work environment, team building, and other social events

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
