Our client is seeking an experienced Senior Private Fund Accounting Consultant to support a client's private fund accounting operations within an asset management environment. This is a senior, hands-on contract role requiring deep experience with private equity funds, strong technical judgment, and the ability to operate independently.

• Own and support private fund accounting activities for PPP Europe and related funds, including capital calls, distributions, and waterfall calculations
• Provide continuity and leadership during a senior team transition
• Prepare, review, and validate fund-level financial reporting and related schedules
• Oversee and challenge deliverables produced by third-party fund administrators
• Support period-end and quarter-end close processes across complex fund structures
• Partner closely with internal stakeholders to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and consistency of reporting

• 10+ years of progressive private fund accounting experience, with a strong focus on private equity funds
• Demonstrated, hands-on experience with capital calls and waterfall distributions
• Experience supporting private equity funds at a GP, asset manager, or fund administrator
• Strong understanding of private equity fund operations and financial reporting
• Experience supporting complex or international fund structures
• Must be able to work onsite 4 days/week in NYC or Summit, NJ

• Experience must be with private equity funds; backgrounds limited to smaller private funds, registered investment companies, or 1940 Act funds are not a fit for this role
• This role is intended for senior-level consultants; candidates with fewer than 10 years of relevant private equity fund accounting experience are unlikely to be successful

• Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required.
• No third parties. No C2C.
• As a contractor, including remote contractors, you may be required to complete a background check.
