Fund Accountant

Fund Accountant — Fully Remote

Private investment firm · Remote (DC Metro Area) · $60,000–$80,000 base + Bonus + Deal Co-Investment

Most fund accounting jobs at this level give you one slice of the close and keep you there.

This isn’t that.

You’d sit at the center of how a private investment firm actually runs — the general ledger, the wires, the distributions, and the investor records behind a portfolio of roughly 25 companies. And unusually for a seat at this level, you’d have the ability to invest your own capital alongside the firm in its deals.

The details

• Fully remote, but must be in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area. They may open an office in the future requiring 1-2 days/week in office.
• $60,000–$80,000 base, plus bonus
• Co-investment — the opportunity to put your own money into the firm’s deals

What you’d own

• Day-to-day general ledger and fund accounting
• Wires, capital calls and investor distributions — a significant part of the role
• Investor onboarding, subscription documents and capital account records
• Audit-ready documentation across deals, closings and quarterly statements
• Regulatory support including Form D tracking and Blue Sky filings
• Making all of the above faster and cleaner — automation and process cleanup are genuinely welcomed here

What they’re looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (Finance or Economics with strong accounting coursework also works)
• Early-career, with fund accounting, fund administration, venture capital, private equity or public accounting experience especially relevant
• Strong Excel and genuinely exceptional attention to detail — you’ll be handling wires and legal documents
• Comfortable talking directly with investors by email, phone and video
• Hungry. This is built for someone who wants to grow into more, not someone looking to do the same task for a decade.

Why people take this job

Fund administration teaches you one client’s slice. This teaches you the whole machine — how capital gets called, how money moves, how deals close, and how investors actually get paid. That’s a skill set that travels.
