Senior Finance Associate
Job Description:
This position sits at the intersection of fund accounting, operations, and new product launch. You’ll work directly with senior finance leadership to build and manage the accounting framework for two newly formed investment vehicles while supporting the firm’s flagship strategies. Ideal for someone who wants broader ownership than a typical NAV review role — someone who enjoys building infrastructure in a lean, fast-moving environment.
Key Responsibilities
Fund Accounting & NAV Oversight
- Manage day-to-day and month-end accounting processes across multiple funds.
- Review and validate NAVs prepared by the fund administrator, including valuations, pricing, accruals, expense allocations, and investor performance.
- Maintain internal books and reconciliations (cash, positions, corporate actions, P&L).
Capital Activity & Investor Allocations
- Process and track subscriptions, redemptions, equalization, side pockets (if applicable), and other capital movements.
- Ensure accurate investor-level allocations, waterfall mechanics, and fee/expense accruals.
- Support investor relations with onboarding workflows and capital activity reporting.
New Fund Launch Support
- Partner with Legal, Operations, and the Administrator to build accounting policies, reporting frameworks, and operational workflows for two newly launched funds.
- Assist with structuring and documenting master-feeder, parallel, and sleeve-specific accounting requirements.
- Contribute to system implementations, GL design, automation enhancements, and audit readiness.
Financial Reporting & Audit
- Support quarterly/annual financial statements, footnotes, and audit requests.
- Assist with regulatory filings (e.g., Form PF, 13F, regulatory updates) in collaboration with Compliance.
Candidate Requirements
- 3–7 years of experience in hedge fund operations, fund accounting, fund administration, or asset management audit or tax.
- Strong knowledge of fund structures (master-feeder, parallel funds, SPVs, co-invest vehicles).
- Experience with fund launches or onboarding new investment products is highly preferred.
- Exposure to both public and private investment strategies is a plus.
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in a lean, high-performance environment.
- Strong Excel skills and aptitude for systems, data workflows, and process design.
Salary : $100,000 - $150,000
