Fund Accounting Manager

Overview:

I’m currently working on a confidential Fund Accounting Manager opportunity with a rapidly scaling private equity platform that has become one of the more active and well-capitalized firms in the market.

What stands out is the founding team — senior professionals from top-tier alternative asset managers who have built a platform with strong institutional backing and a differentiated investment strategy. The firm has grown to multi-billion AUM in a short period of time and continues to expand across new strategies, particularly within GP stakes and capital solutions.

Why This Role

This is not a traditional “manage and maintain” accounting role.

The firm is still in a build and scale phase, which creates a unique opportunity to:

• Own and shape fund accounting processes as new funds and strategies are launched
• Partner directly with senior leadership across finance and investment teams
• Play a key role in institutionalizing infrastructure and controls
• Operate in a lean, high-impact environment where your work is highly visible

What You’ll Be Doing

• Oversee fund accounting across multiple vehicles, including review of NAVs, financials, and investor reporting
• Manage capital activity (capital calls, distributions, allocations, waterfalls)
• Coordinate with fund administrators, auditors, and internal stakeholders
• Drive process improvements, automation, and scalability of reporting infrastructure
• Support new fund launches, closings, and structural considerations
• Mentor and review junior team members (if applicable)

What They’re Looking For

• 5–10 years of experience in fund accounting within private equity, credit, or alternative asset management
• Strong understanding of fund structures, capital flows, and investor reporting
• Experience reviewing work and/or managing processes (formal management a plus, not required)
• Ability to operate in a fast-paced, evolving environment with a high degree of ownership
• CPA or progress toward certification is a plus
