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.
