Fund Accounting Senior Associate

Belltower, Angel List’s funds services division, is empowering world-changing fund investments.

Belltower was formed in 2019 as Angel List’s native fund administrator. Belltower provides fund administration services to the venture space. Our coverage spans syndicates, venture funds, and first-of-their-kind rolling funds. Our full-service fund management offering streamlines the complexity of running a fund by integrating financial reporting, tax, compliance, portfolio management, and other services that managers typically have to cobble together from multiple vendors.

Our services, combined with Angel List’s software, enable us to launch and scale a fund efficiently, allowing fund managers to focus on what they do best: investing.

Since 2019, Belltower has supported 27k+ funds representing over $25B in assets under administration, leveraging Angel List’s fund admin software to power the service layer for funds launched on the Angel List platform.

The Fund Accounting Senior Associate is a key member of the team responsible for supporting the accounting, valuation, and reporting functions for 27,000+ funds run on the Angel List platform. This position is part of our team that prepares fund accounting work that is not yet automated, resolves exceptions, addresses investor inquiries, and researches new technical issues.

This role is responsible for reviewing post-close actions in order to process valuation and accounting updates, review management and administrative fee calculations, perform ad hoc and scheduled financial reporting. There will be direct collaboration and interface with both GPs and LPs regarding any of the above.

• Evaluate portfolio company events and data, and determine the appropriate valuation action for each investment.
• Help prepare both audited and unaudited financial statements and work with audit firms to ensure completion of annual audits.
• Ensure that accounting treatment for portfolio company investments is in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and evaluate special situations.
• Work with engineering teams to continue the push toward increased automation and process improvement.

• 3-4+ years of demonstrated operational excellence in the financial sector, including experience in fund administration and/or public accounting focused on VC and/or PE clients, supported by a superb academic track record and a CPA license (strongly preferred).
• The ability to communicate effectively and with polished professionalism with portfolio companies and lead investors.
• Superb attention to detail: you need to be able to catch the corner case every time.
• Exceptional organizational skills and a love of process. We oversee a portfolio of investments in the thousands, which can only be managed systematically.
• Willingness to get your hands dirty: good data usually takes hard work and determination.
• Mastery of core financial concepts and a strong interest in the nuts and bolts of venture finance. Your day-to-day work will touch on the legal, accounting, tax, and finance components that underlie the venture financing ecosystem.
• A great attitude and the ability to embrace regular change as we continually improve products and processes.

If you don’t meet every requirement above, we still encourage you to apply. We value complementary strengths and operators who learn by doing.
