Job Description & How to Apply Below

We’re partnering with a highly active and growing real estate investment and development platform to identify a Senior Fund Accountant to join their team.

This is a high-impact role supporting investment funds across the full lifecycle — offering strong exposure to acquisitions, capital markets, and investor reporting in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

The Opportunity

This role sits at the center of fund-level financial operations, supporting monthly close, investor reporting, and fund activity across a dynamic real estate portfolio.

You’ll work cross-functionally with teams across investments, development, and asset management while gaining meaningful exposure to capital flows, deal activity, and fund performance.

Key Responsibilities
  • Support monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes (JEs, reconciliations, reporting)
  • Prepare and review fund-level financial statements and investor reporting packages
  • Perform variance analysis and support performance insights
  • Assist with capital calls, distributions, and investor allocations
  • Partner with internal teams on acquisitions, development activity, and cash flow timing
  • Coordinate with auditors, fund administrators, and external stakeholders
  • Maintain accurate tracking of investor capital accounts and fund activity
  • Contribute to process improvements across fund accounting and reporting workflows
What We re Looking For
  • 2–5+ years of experience in fund accounting, public accounting, or real estate accounting
  • Exposure to private equity funds, real estate structures, or investment reporting
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and financial reporting concepts
  • Advanced Excel skills and comfort working with large datasets
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Direct exposure to investment activity, capital markets, and deal flow
  • Opportunity to work closely with senior leadership and decision-makers
  • Broad visibility across fund operations, development, and acquisitions
  • Fast-growing platform with strong momentum and long-term upside
  • Collaborative, high-performing team environment
