Investment Accountant

HCG Funds is a leading SEC-registered private credit investment manager, investing in small-balance commercial and consumer loans enabled by technology. We target attractive absolute and relative risk-adjusted returns from a growing $150+ billion target market. Since the firm’s inception in 2009, we have purchased over $5 billion in loans on a mission to transform the future of finance through trust, innovation, and capital. Unlike traditional investment funds, much of what we do requires building new technology and applying novel solutions. Our team combines investing, technology, data, and finance to create an operating platform that underpins our investment process. We are innovators in alternative investment programs rooted in Fintech, investing and working with some of the world's most pioneering companies to create value for our clients through our private credit strategies. THE ROLE This position sits at the intersection of accounting, investment operations, data analysis, and technology. You'll report directly to the Controller and work closely with our investment professionals, engineers, investor relations team, and external service providers. No two days are exactly alike. One day you may be reconciling portfolio activity, another designing a new reporting process, helping automate a workflow, investigating an accounting issue, or partnering with engineers to improve how investment data flows through our systems. Success in this role depends far more on curiosity and analytical thinking. We're looking for someone who enjoys figuring out difficult problems, building better processes, and understanding how complex systems work—not someone who simply wants to execute the same accounting checklist every month.
