Fund Accounting Manager

Company Description Spero CFO is a modern financial services platform that blends senior financial judgment with AI-driven analysis to deliver institutional-quality finance solutions. The firm partners closely with founders, families, and general partners with $1.5B+ in AUA. Spero operates four integrated businesses—Family Office, CFO services, Fund Administration, and Tax Mitigation—providing end-to-end support from back-office execution to high-level financial leadership. Team members join a high-touch, high-trust environment focused on innovation, scalability, and future-ready financial leadership. Role Description The Fund Accounting Manager is a full-time, on-site role based in Provo, UT, responsible for overseeing a portfolio of fund clients end to end. You will be first in on new deals: reading LPAs and side letters, interpreting deal-specific terms, building the carried interest waterfall, management fee schedule, and complex allocations while meeting directly with GPs. You will be supported by a team of staff, interns, and other team members that run day-to-day production while you review their work, resolve complex issues, and hold final sign-off. The role is client-facing: you will work directly with GPs and institutional investors. Spero is an AI-native firm. Our fund accountants work daily with automation tools and AI agents. You do not need to arrive as an expert, but genuine enthusiasm for learning and building with these tools is essential. Spero is growing quickly and this role will have an outsized opportunity to grow within the firm.
