Assistant Controller | Private Equity Real Estate

Firm: >$3B REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT MANAGER (DALLAS)

Location: Dallas, TX
· In office Monday–Thursday (4 days per week)

A well-established Dallas-based real estate investment manager running $3B+ in its real estate debt fund strategy. The finance and accounting team is long-tenured and stable, and the platform is actively growing. This hire

backfills a seat opened by an internal promotion.

• A step-up ownership seat over a set of highly complex closed-end real estate debt funds — keeping the funds running cleanly across close, funding, and reporting.
• Blended accounting and fund operations, not a pure production accounting role.
• You sit inside the business, work directly with asset management and acquisitions, and are in deal calls and pipeline meetings.
• Oversee and direct the third-party fund administrator
• Handle investor requests and understand the mechanics behind them, not just process them.
• Reports to the Director of Accounting and partners closely with the CFO.

• Oversee accounting and operations for closed-end real estate debt funds
• Review quarterly work papers, financial statements, and investor/partner reporting prepared by the third-party administrator
• Review capital calls, distributions, and investor allocation calculations
• Support management fee, carried interest, and complex waterfall calculations
• Participate in quarterly fair value processes, including valuation support and coordination
• Support liquidity management, including credit facility activity and deal-level funding
• Facilitate foreign currency hedging and related reporting
• Coordinate interim and annual audits, including preparation and review of audit materials
• Partner with asset management, acquisitions, and the client solutions group on reporting and ad hoc requests
• Help build and improve reporting processes and operational workflows
• Support new product launches and fund structuring initiatives

• 7–12 years of accounting experience is the target; 5–12 years considered depending on background and progression
• Background from a buy-side alternative asset manager, fund administrator or public accounting firm with private equity / private equity real estate clients
• Public accounting foundation (Big
  4) is a strong plus; a mix of public accounting and fund administration experience is ideal
• Undergraduate degree in accounting, finance, or related field; CPA preferred
