ABOUT THE ROLE
iCapital is looking to hire a Strategic Finance professional to join the Corporate Finance team. This role will play a key part in building and scaling the firm’s expense financial operating model, partnering with senior leaders to drive greater transparency, discipline, and insight across products, regions, and business units. Sitting at the intersection of Strategic Finance and FP&A, the role focuses on advancing profit center, cost center, and product P&L frameworks that improve decision making and capital allocation.
The ideal candidate brings structure to complex, evolving environments and can balance strategic design with hands-on execution. This is a visible, high impact role for someone motivated by building scalable systems that strengthen financial accountability and support long-term growth.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design and implementation of the firm’s Target Operating model, including cost centers, product views, and expense frameworks, to create a single source of truth for enterprise profitability and cost management.
- Own the end-to-end cost center hierarchy strategy, ensuring alignment with how management views and runs the organization across domestic, international, and corporate segments.
- Partner closely with senior business leaders, Finance Business Partners, and corporate functions to define service catalogs, service level agreements, and chargeback methodologies for shared services.
- Drive the transition from fragmented reporting to scalable, rule-based expense attribution, improving visibility into direct versus indirect costs, fully loaded P&Ls, and margin by product, region, and profit center.
- Establish disciplined expense governance frameworks, including approval workflows, allocation rules, reclassification policies, and periodic recertification of cost center, P&L, and FP&A ownership.
- Lead cross-functional discovery efforts to document current-state workflows, identify evaluation gaps, capacity constraints, and process friction, and translate findings into executable requirements.
- Oversee activity tagging and cost attribution initiatives, including headcount, contingent labor, SaaS, Passthrough vendors, capitalized expenses, and corporate-funded strategic initiatives.
- Partner with the Technology, People, and Accounting teams to drive system enablement across Coupa, Dayforce, NetSuite, and reporting platforms, ensuring required dimensions (cost center, product, region, position ID) are embedded at the source.
- Advance the organization toward automated, scalable analytics, enabling self-service dashboards for executives, Finance, and Business leaders with consistent methodologies across periods.
- Support enterprise planning by improving forecast accuracy, scenario analysis, and capital allocation decisions through standardized data and forward-looking insights.
- Distinguish and track run-the-business vs. growth and transformation spend, with clear KPIs, investment thresholds, and milestone-based governance.
- Act as a strategic thought partner to executive leadership, providing insights on organizational efficiency, pricing strategy, operating leverage, and profitability drivers.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 6-10 years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, corporate finance, or management consulting, with demonstrated exposure to enterprise-scale operating models.
- Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field; MBA, CPA, CFA, or similar advanced credentials are preferred.
- Proven experience designing or operating profit center, cost center, or product P&L frameworks in a multi-product, multi-region organization.
- Strong understanding of expense attribution, cost allocation methodologies, and chargeback models, including direct vs. indirect cost treatment.
- Demonstrated ability to partner with senior leaders and executives, influencing decision-making across the Finance, Technology, People, Legal, and Business teams.
- Experience leading or supporting large-scale financial transformations, including governance, change management, and process redesign.
- Familiar with private market investments such as private equity, hedge funds, or structured investments are preferred.
- Hands-on experience with financial systems and data flows, such as NetSuite (or similar ERP), Coupa, Dayforce, Adaptive, or comparable platforms.
- Proven track record of building scalable reporting and analytics, including dashboarding and self-service financial insights.
- Able to operate effectively in an evolving environment, balancing near-term execution with long-term architectural design.
- Experience working with global organizations, including cross-border entities, regional support models, and international cost structures.
- High attention to detail with a strong sense of financial discipline, governance, and control, without sacrificing speed or flexibility.
- Self-starter mentality with the ability to lead without authority, drive alignment, and push initiatives forward across functional boundaries.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Finance Assistant
Match your degree to the role
USCIS requires your degree field to directly relate to the Finance Assistant duties. An accounting or finance degree clears this easily, but a business administration degree may require a credential evaluation letter that maps your coursework to financial analysis tasks.
Use OFLC Wage Search before applying
Look up the prevailing wage for Finance Assistant under SOC code 43-3031 in your target metro area. If an offer falls below the DOL wage level, your H-1B petition faces an LCA compliance problem before it even reaches USCIS.
Filter for E-Verify enrolled employers
Finance departments at publicly traded companies and federal contractors must use E-Verify, which correlates with established H-1B sponsorship infrastructure. Target these employers first since their HR teams already handle work authorization documentation routinely.
Find sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Search Finance Assistant roles on Migrate Mate to see which employers have active H-1B LCA filing history for this occupation. That filing history confirms the employer has already cleared the DOL certification step for comparable roles.
Ask about cap-exempt status early
Hospitals, universities, and nonprofit research institutions are cap-exempt H-1B employers, meaning you can start anytime without waiting for the October 1 lottery date. Finance Assistant roles at these organizations are a practical option if you're on a tight OPT deadline.
Clarify LCA job site before your start date
If the Finance Assistant role is hybrid or involves client site visits, the employer must file a separate LCA for each worksite location. Confirm this with HR before your I-129 is submitted to avoid an RFE citing worksite discrepancies.

Find Finance Assistant JobsFinance Assistant H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Finance Assistant role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, if the employer requires a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a closely related field as a minimum for the position. USCIS evaluates the job duties, not just the title. If the posting accepts any bachelor's degree regardless of field, specialty occupation status becomes harder to establish and may trigger a Request for Evidence.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Finance Assistant positions?
Corporate finance departments at mid-size to large firms, Big Four accounting affiliates, financial services companies, and universities with finance operations are the most consistent sponsors. Search Finance Assistant roles on Migrate Mate to identify employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history for this specific occupation, which is more reliable than estimating from company size alone.
How does the H-1B cap lottery affect my timeline as a Finance Assistant candidate?
Cap-subject H-1B petitions require USCIS selection in the annual lottery, with registration typically opening in March and an October 1 employment start date. If you're on OPT with an expiring work authorization, confirm your OPT end date gives you enough runway to reach October 1, or pursue cap-exempt employers such as universities and nonprofits that can file outside the lottery window.
What wage level should I expect on an H-1B LCA for a Finance Assistant role?
DOL assigns Finance Assistant roles under SOC code 43-3031. The prevailing wage tier on your LCA depends on experience level and geography. Entry-level positions typically land at Level I or Level II wages. Use the OFLC Wage Search to check the prevailing wage in your specific metro area before comparing offers, since regional variation is substantial.
Can a Finance Assistant role transition to a green card sponsorship later?
Yes, employers can sponsor Finance Assistants for employment-based green cards, most commonly through the PERM labor certification process under the EB-3 category. The role must meet minimum educational requirements and the employer must demonstrate no qualified U.S. worker was available. Some employers begin PERM after the first H-1B renewal, so ask about long-term sponsorship intent during the offer stage.
