What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Fund Accountant position at Acuity Fund Solutions?
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Senior Fund Accountant owns the accounting process for an assigned portfolio of funds — exercising independent judgment, reviewing junior work, and mentoring Associates along the way. This is a role for someone ready to take real ownership, not just execute a checklist.
ABOUT ACUITY
Acuity Fund Solutions is a fund administration firm serving private equity, venture capital, real estate, private credit, hedge fund, and family office clients. Built from the ground up for accuracy and responsiveness, Acuity gives fund managers a back office they can rely on without building one in-house.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
— Own the end-to-end accounting and reporting process for an assigned portfolio of funds, working directly with the Fund Accounting Manager to set priorities and timelines
— Review reconciliations, transaction processing, and supporting schedules prepared by Associates, resolving discrepancies using independent judgment rather than escalating routine variances
— Determine when a variance requires escalation to the Fund Accounting Manager versus resolution at your level
— Prepare investor statements and fund-level financial statements for Manager review and final sign-off
— Serve as a working point of contact for client questions on assigned funds
— Identify recurring process gaps or errors and recommend improvements rather than working around them
— Mentor and provide day-to-day guidance to Associate Fund Accountants
WHAT YOU BRING
— Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
— 3 years of fund accounting or fund administration experience
— 2 years of experience across multiple fund structures (Hedge Funds, Private Equity Funds, Venture Capital Funds, and etc.)
— Demonstrated experience independently resolving reconciliation discrepancies and reviewing junior work
— Strong Excel skills and sound judgment on when a variance is routine versus significant
NICE TO HAVE
— Hands-on experience with Allvue, Investran, or Advent Geneva
— CPA license or active progress toward one
— Prior mentoring experience
WHAT ACUITY OFFERS
— Hybrid work arrangement based in Scottsdale, AZ
— Paid time off that grows with tenure, plus separate paid sick leave
— Company holidays aligned to the market calendar, with flexible holiday scheduling
— Industry-leading paid parental leave
— A firm small enough that your work is visible, with a defined path for growth
