Senior Fund Accountant

Role Description

Carmel Partners is seeking a dependable, detail-oriented Senior Fund Accountant to support both property-level and fund-level accounting across multiple real estate private equity funds. This is a fully remote, outsourced position operating on Pacific Time. The role is initially focused on reviewing property accounting and preparing fund-level accounting deliverables, including:

• Journal entries
• Reconciliations
• Consolidations
• Reporting schedules

As you demonstrate proficiency, you will have opportunities to expand into more complex fund accounting responsibilities.

We are looking for someone who takes ownership of their work, communicates proactively, and enjoys solving accounting issues in a collaborative environment. If you are the type of person who catches errors others miss, follows through on commitments, and consistently delivers high-quality work, we'd like to hear from you.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• 6+ years of progressive accounting experience in property accounting, fund accounting, or both (real estate or multi-family preferred).
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and the ability to research and apply accounting guidance to real estate and fund accounting matters.
• Demonstrated experience with month-end close, consolidated reporting, account reconciliations, and preparation of supporting schedules.
• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, complex formulas); proficient in Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Word, Teams).
• Remote work experience with a proven ability to manage your time and output independently in a distributed environment.
• Full availability to work US Pacific Time Zone hours.

Requirements

• Intellectual Curiosity: You seek to understand the business purpose behind accounting activity, not just the mechanics.
• Sound Judgment: You prioritize effectively, escalate appropriately, and make thoughtful decisions when information is incomplete.
• Reliability: You consistently meet deadlines, communicate proactively, and follow through on commitments.
• Ownership: You take responsibility for your work and hold yourself to a high standard of accuracy and quality.
• Communication Skills: You can clearly summarize issues, ask thoughtful questions, and work effectively with internal and external stakeholders.
• Adaptability: You are comfortable working at both the detailed transaction level and the broader fund level.

Benefits

• Transition into expanded fund-level reporting responsibilities, including consolidated fund reporting packages, capital account schedules, support for investor reporting, and accounting for acquisitions, dispositions, and other complex transactions.
• Partner with internal teams (Fund Management, Asset Management, Investor Relations, Legal) to support reporting, transactions, and other fund-related initiatives.
• Identify process improvements and support special initiatives and cross-functional projects as the role evolves.
