The Cox Family Office Finance Team is seeking a highly motivated, detail‑oriented Senior Accountant to join our Individual & Trust Accounting team – an integral function at the heart of a sophisticated and dynamic family office environment. This unique role provides the opportunity to contribute across a wide range of accounting functions, supporting the financial administration of high‑net‑worth individuals, a multi-generational family, and strategic trust structures. As part of a collaborative and service-driven team, the ideal candidate brings strong technical expertise, a refined attention to detail, and a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset.

 A role within Family Office finance represents one of the most distinctive and intellectually rewarding niches within the broader financial services industry. Unlike traditional corporate finance or public accounting, a family office operates as a private wealth management firm dedicated exclusively to serving the complex financial needs of ultra-high-net-worth families – managing assets across multiple generations, geographies, and asset classes simultaneously. Professionals in this space gain rare, cross-functional exposure to sophisticated investment portfolios, trust and estate structures, tax planning, philanthropic vehicles, and direct private investments – all under one roof. The family office model demands a uniquely elevated standard of discretion, judgment, and technical depth, and in return offers unparalleled breadth of experience and long-term career development within a collegial, mission-driven environment.

This individual will report to the Manager of Accounting in the Finance Group. He/she may collaborate with the additional teams within the Family Office. The Senior Accountant will be based in Atlanta. In-office days will be required.

• Prepare the monthly close process.

• Partnering with internal teams to coordinate accounting matters and improve processes.

We are seeking a collaborative and resourceful professional with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively.

This individual is a self-starter who operates with a high degree of discretion, professionalism, and accountability.
