About the Role
The Company is seeking a Head of Compensation Accounting to lead the management of complex compensation structures and ensure compliance with accounting standards and internal policies. The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing all accounting processes related to investment team compensation, including the calculation and management of payout allocations, recording and reconciling compensation accruals, and producing detailed compensation reporting for senior leadership. This role requires a strategic approach to optimizing compensation arrangements tied to performance metrics, driving process improvements, and automation in compensation workflows to enhance operational efficiency and reporting accuracy. Applicants must have a Bachelor of Science in accounting, finance, or a related field, with 7-12 years' experience in hedge fund, management company, or compensation accounting. Proficiency in US GAAP compensation accounting concepts and deferred compensation structures is essential, as is advanced Excel skills.

The role demands exceptional attention to detail, strong organizational and project management skills, and the ability to operate in a fast-paced environment while managing confidential data with precision and reliability. A CPA certification is preferred but not mandatory. The Head of Compensation Accounting will also be expected to support regulatory, tax, and audit requests and contribute to the advancement of compensation accounting systems in collaboration with technology teams.
