A prominent Dallas-based single-family office is seeking an experienced Contract Accountant to support the day-to-day accounting and bookkeeping operations of the office. Reporting to the Head of the Family Office, this is a hands-on generalist role responsible for full-cycle accounts payable, general ledger maintenance, account reconciliations, and recording investment activity across multiple entities and accounts.
The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented, self-directed accounting professional who thrives in a discreet, high-trust environment and is comfortable wearing multiple hats. This is a part-time contract engagement of approximately 30 hours per week on a hybrid schedule based in Dallas, Texas. Accounts Payable & Disbursements

• Manage full-cycle accounts payable: receive, review, and code invoices; obtain approvals; and prepare payments via check, ACH, and wire.
• Track and categorize household, personal, property, and entity-level expenses.
• Maintain vendor records and resolve billing discrepancies.

General Ledger & Bookkeeping

• Maintain the general ledger and chart of accounts across multiple entities (trusts, LLCs, partnerships, and personal accounts).
• Prepare and post journal entries, including recurring and adjusting entries.
• Support monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes.

Investment Accounting

• Record investment activity from custodian, brokerage, and fund manager statements — including realized and unrealized gains and losses, dividends, interest, and other income.
• Track capital calls, distributions, and contributions for private fund and partnership investments.
• Reconcile investment holdings and activity to statements and support periodic portfolio reporting.

Reconciliations & Reporting

• Reconcile bank, brokerage, and credit card accounts on a regular basis.
• Assist with cash flow monitoring and periodic financial reporting to the Head of the Family Office.
• Prepare and organize documentation to support external CPA and tax advisors (e.g., K-1s, 1099s, and year-end tax packages).

Administrative & Other

• Maintain organized, confidential, and audit-ready financial records.
• Coordinate with the Head of Office, external advisors, and wealth managers.
• Support ad hoc financial projects and analysis as needed.

• 5+ years of progressive bookkeeping or accounting experience; one year of family office, wealth management, private investment, or high-net-worth bookkeeping or accounting experience required. 
• Solid accounts payable and full-cycle bookkeeping expertise.
• Working knowledge of investment accounting concepts — gains and losses, dividends, interest, and partnership/fund activity including capital calls and distributions.
• Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central preferred; experience with investment or portfolio accounting platforms (e.g., Addepar, Sage Intacct, Archway) a plus.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
• Exceptional discretion, confidentiality, and sound judgment when handling sensitive personal and financial information.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and self-directed, with the ability to manage priorities independently.
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred.
