• Contribute to budgeting and forecasting initiatives

Payables & Expense Oversight

• Manage the end-to-end accounts payable process across multiple entities
• Review and process invoices, expense reports, and fund allocations
• Ensure proper documentation, coding, and adherence to internal controls
• Partner with internal teams on vendor management and cost tracking

Audit & Tax Coordination

• Serve as the main liaison for external auditors during annual audits
• Coordinate tax filings and review partnership returns, K-1s, and supporting schedules
• Monitor timelines to ensure audits and filings are completed on schedule

Process Optimization & Controls

Compliance Support

• Assist with regulatory and compliance-related initiatives in partnership with finance leadership
• Help ensure adherence to internal policies and external requirements

What They’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• Experience in fund accounting, public accounting, or private equity environment
• Strong understanding of GAAP and partnership accounting concepts
• Familiarity with capital activity (calls/distributions) and investor reporting
• Experience working with auditors and tax providers

Why This Role?

• Direct exposure to senior leadership and investment teams
• Broad responsibilities across both funds and management company
• Opportunity to grow with a scaling private equity platform
• Collaborative, entrepreneurial environment
• Fast growth opportunity

If you’re currently in fund accounting or coming out of public accounting with exposure to alternative investments, this is a strong opportunity to make a move into a dynamic PE platform.
