  • Assist with share reserve tracking, capitalization table reconciliations, and reporting requirements.
  • Prepare, organize, and deliver audit-ready documentation across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Own audit request trackers end-to-end: intake, assignment, status monitoring, and on-time delivery.
  • Maintain jurisdictional filing calendars and compliance trackers, proactively flagging upcoming deadlines to the team.
  • Compile and quality-check all inputs required for local regulatory filings before submission.
  • Build and maintain country process documentation to support consistency, scalability, and audit readiness.
  • Reconcile equity transaction activity and supporting tax documentation to ensure accurate reporting and compliance with annual and periodic tax filings.
  • Coordinate the production and distribution of quarterly investor reporting packages, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and consistency.
  • Serve as the operational point of contact for year-end investor audit inquiries, managing timelines and deliverable quality.
  • Maintain organized, audit-ready filing systems for all investor-facing materials.
  • Own and continuously improve key operational trackers spanning equity activity, audit status, and vendor management.
  • Deliver concise, data-driven status updates and operational summaries to senior leadership on a regular cadence.
  • Identify gaps in existing tracking infrastructure and propose scalable solutions as volume grows.

  • 2–5 years of experience in public accounting, corporate accounting, or financial reporting
  • Exposure to stock-based compensation accounting (ASC 718), equity transactions, or valuation-related concepts preferred

Candidates are invited to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in iCapital Network ’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, and you voluntarily decide to complete this survey, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. We request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded.
