to oversee client delivery, team management, and financial reporting for a portfolio of top-tier private equity and venture capital clients.

This role is for a seasoned fund accountant who can move fluidly between technical detail and strategic oversight—someone who’s equally comfortable reviewing complex allocations and sitting across the table from CFOs. You’ll join a growing platform known for pairing institutional-grade rigor with a modern, technology-driven service model.

for multiple private equity and venture capital clients.

Partner closely with client CFOs, controllers, and portfolio teams to provide insights on fund performance, allocations, and investor reporting.

Manage

NAV production, investor allocations, and carry calculations

for complex structures.

Identify opportunities to

streamline processes, enhance controls, and implement automation

across accounting workflows.

Collaborate with internal technology and product teams to continuously improve reporting systems and client deliverables.

What You Bring

7–10+ years

of private equity or fund accounting experience, ideally within a fund administrator or asset manager.

Strong knowledge of

investment structures, capital activity, waterfall modeling, and consolidation.

Familiarity with

Investran, eFront, Yardi, or similar fund accounting platforms.

Deep understanding of

US GAAP, partnership accounting, and financial reporting standards.

Exceptional leadership and communication skills—able to manage teams, clients, and deadlines with precision.

CPA designation or progress toward one strongly preferred.

Bachelor’s degree in

Accounting, Finance, or related field.

Why It’s Worth a Conversation

Lead a team managing flagship clients across

multi-billion-dollar private equity funds.

Join a growing firm that values innovation, accountability, and long-term client relationships.

Exposure to

senior-level client interaction

and strategic decision-making.

Competitive base salary, performance-based bonus, and a culture built around professional growth and excellence.
