Controller / Principal Accounting Officer

Metrics Recruitment is partnering with a $150M investment platform focused on robotics, automation, and AI-driven manufacturing. We're seeking a Controller / Principal Accounting Officer to lead finance and reporting for the launch of a publicly listed closed-end fund on NASDAQ.

This is a hands-on, build-first role at a critical inflection point. You will own financial reporting, SEC filings, and control infrastructure from day one, working closely with the COO and external partners to stand up a public fund platform.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the monthly and quarterly close process, including full GAAP financials.
• Lead all SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, N-CSR, N-PORT, N-CEN).
• Oversee fund administrators, custodians, and auditors, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
• Build and implement internal controls, disclosure frameworks, and reporting processes.
• Prepare board and audit committee materials and support valuation processes.
• Establish scalable systems and infrastructure for future team growth.

Qualifications:

• 7 years of experience in fund accounting, controller, or similar roles.
• Deep ’40 Act / registered fund experience.
• Hands-on ownership of SEC filings (preparation, not just review).
• Experience working closely with fund administrators and external auditors.
• Strong understanding of GAAP, financial reporting, and control frameworks.
• Comfortable operating in a lean, high-ownership environment.

Preferred Experience:

• Experience launching a fund (closed-end fund, BDC, or interval fund).
• Exposure to publicly listed investment vehicles.
• Track record of building processes, controls, or finance infrastructure from scratch.
• Background in smaller or emerging asset managers.

Location: Remote (US-based)
