Fund Accountant (Associate, Controller, Director)

You'll operate with the leverage of a team ten times your size because AI is handling the grunt work. Instead of spending your career buried in spreadsheets doing work a model can do better and faster, you'll work on engagement teams, serve as the primary point of contact for sophisticated clients, and help shape how fund accounting gets done for the next decade. Your client capacity is directly gated by this team, so this hire matters.

Responsibilities

• Be a member of the engagement team for 5-10 clients and serve as the primary point of contact for those clients
• Manage core fund accounting workflows including maintaining books and records, capital calls and distributions, allocations and waterfalls, and capital account statements
• Deliver financial reporting that meets client SLAs
• Communicate directly with fund CFOs, COOs, and GPs
• Integrate into AI-assisted workflows and actively use automation to reduce time on manual tasks
• Surface process improvement opportunities to the engineering team
• Interface regularly with leadership, especially in early-stage client relationships

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field
• Fund accounting experience in alternative investments
• Fluency in core concepts: Fund structures, LPA terms, accounting and industry standards
• Technical skills including, but not limited to AI/Claude
• Strong client-facing communication skills
