Fund Accountant – Temp-to-Hire
Location: New York, NY (Midtown, hybrid)
Compensation: $50–$55/hour
Our client, a small and established investment office, is seeking a Fund Accountant to support the accounting and operations of two investment funds and a related management company.
This is a hands-on opportunity for an accounting professional who is comfortable working in a lean environment and taking ownership of key fund operations, cash activity, reporting, and audit support.
The funds invest primarily in other funds, creating a less transaction-intensive accounting environment than a traditional fund with extensive underlying security positions. This individual will work closely with internal stakeholders and external service providers while supporting quarterly reporting and year-end deliverables.
Responsibilities:- Review NAV packages and support quarterly fund reporting
- Manage cash activity, including wire preparation, review, approval support, and cash management
- Process and oversee accounts payable activity for the funds and management company
- Support budgeting, expense tracking, and management-company accounting
- Coordinate with fund administrators and other external service providers
- Assist with year-end audit requests, schedules, and auditor coordination
- Support K-1-related deliverables and investor reporting processes
- Maintain strong internal controls around cash disbursements and fund operations
- Help improve accounting and operational processes in a small, collaborative environment
- 2–3 years of fund accounting, fund administration, family office, or related investment-accounting experience
- Exposure to NAV review, fund reporting, cash management, wires, and AP
- Experience supporting audit and year-end processes; K-1 exposure is a plus
- Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently in a lean, fast-moving environment
- Strong Excel skills and clear communication skills
- Local to the NYC area and able to be on-site in Midtown initially, with a hybrid schedule thereafter
