Are you a high-performing fund accountant ready to step beyond routine close cycles and into a role with real visibility, ownership, and strategic exposure?

We’re partnering with a growing alternative investment platform seeking a Senior Fund Accountant to play a key role in overseeing fund operations, financial reporting, and investor deliverables across a dynamic portfolio. This is an opportunity to join a team where accounting is viewed as a strategic function — not just a back-office necessity.

Why This Role Stands Out
  • Direct exposure to senior leadership – Work closely with Controllers, CFOs, and investment teams. Your work directly informs decision-making.
  • Complex, interesting structures – Multi-entity fund structures, intricate waterfall calculations, capital activity, and sophisticated investment strategies.
  • Ownership, not task execution – Lead month/quarter-end closes, review NAV packages, manage auditors, and improve processes — not just prepare support schedules.
  • High-growth platform – Be part of a firm scaling its AUM, launching new vehicles, and expanding strategies.
  • Career acceleration – Clear path toward Assistant Controller / Fund Controller level responsibilities.
What You’ll Be Doing
  • Oversee NAV calculations and review fund financial statements
  • Manage capital calls, distributions, and investor allocations
  • Coordinate with administrators and external auditors
  • Improve internal controls and accounting workflows
  • Support ad hoc reporting and strategic finance initiatives
What Makes You a Strong Fit
  • Experience in fund accounting within private equity, private credit, hedge funds, or real assets
  • Deep understanding of partnership accounting and capital activity
  • Comfortable reviewing complex waterfall models
  • Experience working with administrators and audit teams
  • Strong attention to detail paired with a proactive, ownership mindset
The Environment

This is a collaborative, high-performance culture where technical expertise is respected and initiative is rewarded. You’ll join a team that values intellectual curiosity, process improvement, and long‑term growth — both for the platform and for its people.

If you’re looking for more responsibility, broader exposure, and a seat closer to the decision‑making table, this is the kind of role that meaningfully shifts your trajectory.

If this sounds aligned with your goals, let’s connect.
