Fund Accounting Training & Development Specialist
Northern Trust Company
You've mastered fund accounting. Now imagine using that expertise in a whole new way.
You've spent years navigating NAV calculations, reconciliations, financial reporting, deadlines, and complex accounting challenges. You've built valuable expertise along the way.
But maybe you're ready for something different.
Maybe you're the person your colleagues turn to when they need help. The one who enjoys explaining complicated accounting concepts, showing newer team members the ropes, or helping someone finally understand a challenging process.
What if those were the parts of your job you could do more of?
We're looking for an experienced fund accounting professional who wants to leverage their technical knowledge to help train, mentor, and develop other Fund Accountants.
This is an opportunity to take your career in a new direction while staying connected to the industry and expertise you've worked hard to build.
What You'll Be Doing
- Partner with Fund Accounting Managers to train, mentor, and develop Staff Accountants.
- Share your real-world fund accounting knowledge to help others build technical skills and confidence.
- Guide newer accountants through NAV calculations, reconciliations, accounting procedures, and complex fund accounting issues.
- Help identify knowledge gaps and opportunities for additional training.
- Serve as a trusted resource for accountants navigating challenging questions and processes.
- Support onboarding and help new team members become productive and successful.
- Contribute to a collaborative environment where people feel supported, motivated, and encouraged to grow.
Who We're Looking For
- Approximately 7–10 years of fund accounting experience.
- Strong understanding of fund accounting operations, NAV processes, reconciliations, and related accounting activities.
- Someone who naturally enjoys teaching, coaching, and helping colleagues succeed.
- A patient, approachable communicator who can explain complex accounting concepts clearly.
- Experience reviewing junior accountants' work, answering technical questions, or helping train new hires is especially valuable.
- A professional who wants to apply their experience in a more people-focused capacity.
You do not need to have been a formal Training Manager.
If you've been the go-to person on your team, helped onboard new accountants, mentored junior colleagues, or enjoyed sharing what you've learned, we'd love to hear from you.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
A new direction without starting over. Your fund accounting experience is the foundation for this role, not something you have to leave behind.
Make a different kind of impact. Instead of focusing exclusively on your own deliverables, you'll help other accountants build the skills they need to succeed.
Use the experience you've earned. Those years of problem-solving, navigating complex accounting issues, and learning the business become valuable tools for developing others.
Stay connected to fund accounting. You'll continue applying your technical expertise, but with an increased emphasis on knowledge sharing and team development.
Ready for a Different Kind of Fund Accounting Career?
If you enjoy the technical side of fund accounting but find yourself increasingly drawn to coaching, mentoring, and helping others grow, this could be the career move you've been looking for.
You don't have to leave fund accounting to do something new with your experience.
Let's connect.
