The successful candidate is an individual with exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills that possesses the hands-on leadership mindset necessary to manage a highly leveraged, institutional-quality fund accounting model in an efficient manner while maintaining accuracy and minimizing the risk of error across complex fund structures. In addition, this individual will be a primary point of contact for the firm's external co-source partners and will play a central role in firm-wide strategic initiatives within a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
This individual will also regularly interact with various members of the Finance department and broader business, including senior leadership, and investment professionals involved in the authorization, reporting, and management of the firm's funds and investment structures.
Key Responsibilities:
Oversee the preparation and delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements and investor reports for over 75+ private equity real estate funds and related entities.
  • Manage and coordinate with external service providers, including co-sourced accounting partner, internal teams and external auditors to maintain accuracy, timeliness, and GAAP compliance (where needed) for investor reporting.
  • Review all capital calls and distribution activity, including analyzing waterfalls based on fund legal documents.
  • Review related party fee calculations, including management fees.
  • Oversee the fund's accounts payable process, including reviewing and approving vendor invoices and fund expenses.
  • Support the onboarding of new funds, SPVs, and complex investment structures and integrate them into existing accounting processes.
  • Work with the internal capital markets team to answer LP questions.
  • Drive process improvement initiatives, including automation, controls enhancement, and ERP optimization.
  • Partner closely with the Fund Controller, Controller, CFO, and investment teams on various ad-hoc requests including strategic initiatives.
  • Participate in special projects related to growth, scalability, and operational excellence
Job Requirements:
  • CPA required
  • 8–10 years of progressive experience in public accounting and private equity or alternative investment fund accounting (Big 4 public accounting experience strongly preferred).
  • Deep understanding of GAAP and hands-on experience with real estate and/or private equity fund structures.
  • Experience working with complex legal entities, leverage structures, and investment vehicles.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment.
  • Strong analytical skills with exceptional attention to detail.
  • Demonstrated experience working with external auditors and third-party service providers.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel; experience with fund accounting systems (e.g., Yardi) preferred.
  • Clear, confident communicator comfortable interacting with senior leadership.
  • Self-motivated, ownership-oriented professional with a desire to build and improve processes.
  • Ability to work well in a team-based setting.
