AVP, Fund Accounting, Collective Investment Trusts; CIT

Our client is a fast growing financial technology and alternative investment platform that connects wealth managers, asset managers, banks, advisors, and high net worth investors to alternative investment opportunities. With roughly 1,500 employees, the firm has built one of the more respected platforms in the alternatives space and continues to expand into new products and investor channels.

This AVP will join the Fund Finance organization and take ownership of day to day fund accounting oversight for a platform that is actively growing. The role works closely with third party fund administrators, custodians, auditors, and internal teams, and touches nearly every stage of the fund reporting lifecycle, from NAV review through SEC filings. It is a strong opportunity for someone who wants direct exposure to registered fund structures inside a platform built around alternative investments and retirement access, a combination that is not common in the market today.

• Manage the annual external audit process
• Support Form 8-K filings and other fund related events
• Oversee third party tax providers and investor K-1 delivery
• Calculate proration factors for oversubscribed tender offers
• Help build and maintain internal controls over financial reporting

• 5+ years of fund accounting or public accounting experience with alternative investment management clients
• Strong knowledge of investment company accounting under US GAAP
• Experience with registered funds, including '40 Act and '34 Act structures (mutual funds, RICs, BDCs, or comparable registered products)
• Familiarity with SEC reporting, including Form 10-K and Form 10-Q
• Strong attention to detail and comfort managing multiple external service providers at once
• Ability to work on site four days per week in one of the listed locations

• Direct experience with Collective Investment Trusts (CIT) or retirement fund products
• Active CPA license
• Background combining public accounting with industry fund accounting experience

This role offers direct, hands on ownership of fund accounting for a platform at the intersection of two growing areas: alternative investments and retirement access. Candidates will gain exposure to registered fund reporting, SEC filings, and CIT structures inside a well established and well regarded alternatives platform, working alongside experienced fund finance and audit professionals. For someone coming from public accounting, it is a strong path into industry with real ownership from day one.

For someone already in fund accounting, it is a chance to specialize in a space that is expanding quickly and gaining visibility across the industry.

This role is hybrid, requires four days per week in office.
