        Financial Reporting Associate (New York)

        Financial Operations
        New York

        The D. E. Shaw group seeks an associate to join its Financial Reporting group within Financial Operations (FinOp), which handles the firm's investor and legal entity financial reporting for its hedge fund and private fund vehicles. The role pairs core financial reporting and accounting work with the chance to help drive innovation across the group—partnering with technology teams to bring generative AI (GAI) and automation into its daily processes.

        What you’ll do day-to-day

        • Prepare and analyze monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, conduct account and performance analyses, and handle investor, management, and regulatory reporting for multiple legal entities in global capital markets.
        • Partner with Middle and Back Office Technology (MBOT) and other technology teams to rethink how the group handles its daily work, using GAI and automation to turn recurring manual tasks into automated processes.
        • Help design and implement GAI-driven workflows for the group's reporting and accounting work, and carry them from idea through to everyday use.
        • Work on special projects such as launching new fund vehicles, conducting historical analyses, and fielding bespoke requests from senior management across internal groups.
        • Interact regularly with other internal departments, including Investor Relations, Management Reporting, Management Company Accounting, Tax, Treasury, Legal and Compliance, and software development groups, and gain a macro view of the firm's financial activities and fund structures.

        What we’re looking for

        • An undergraduate or graduate degree in accounting or a finance-adjacent field, along with two to four years of experience in accounting, financial reporting, or a similar function at a hedge fund, investment manager, or other financial services firm. Public accounting experience and a CPA are welcome but not required.
        • An interest in accounting and an appetite to learn the firm's fund structures and reporting.
        • GAI fluency, or a keen appetite to become fluent, and an interest in using GAI and automation to build reporting and accounting processes that hold up over time.
        • Keen analytical and problem-solving skills with close attention to detail and accuracy.
        • Effective communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across teams.
        • An organized approach, a facility with numbers, and a habit of taking initiative.
        • The expected annual base salary for this position is $120,000 to $150,000. Our compensation and benefits package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, guaranteed in the first year of hire, and benefits including medical and prescription drug coverage, 401(k) contribution matching, wellness reimbursement, family building benefits, and a charitable gift match program.
