Client Accounting Assistant

Cambridge Associates was founded in the early 1970s to provide investment and financial planning consulting services for endowments and other nonprofit institutions. Today we work with colleges and universities representing almost three quarters of US higher education endowment assets as well as with other endowed institutions, international institutions, families and corporations. We are an independent consulting firm that has placed a special emphasis on avoiding conflicts of interest. We do not receive fees from financial firms and institutions nor do we manage money. Our services include: investment policy and strategy consulting; investment manager search and evaluation; alternative assets consulting; financial management consulting; and performance monitoring. We also offer extensive proprietary asset class and manager databases and research as well as financial databases and research, which serve as the platform for all our consulting and advisory work.
