• Review fund administrator deliverables, including NAV reporting, capital activity, allocations, distributions, and financial statements, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
• Manage relationships with administrators, auditors, and external service providers while serving as a key liaison across investment, legal, client service, and operations teams.
• Drive process improvements, strengthen internal controls, and identify operational risks to support a scalable and best-in-class fund operations platform.
• Research complex accounting matters, maintain accounting policies and procedures, and support strategic initiatives across the firm's investment operations function.

• 5–7+ years of experience in between public accounting, fund administration, asset management, private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, or alternative investments environments
• Strong understanding of partnership accounting and investment fund structures
• Experience reviewing financial statements, NAV calculations, capital activity, and investor reporting
• Ability to analyze complex accounting and operational issues
• Strong project management and organizational skills
• Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to quality

• Curious and intellectually engaged
• Detail-oriented and highly accountable
• Process-driven with a continuous improvement mindset
• Collaborative and team-oriented
• Comfortable challenging assumptions and identifying risks
• Strong communicators who can work across multiple stakeholder groups
• Motivated by learning and professional growth

Benefits here are outstanding:

• Competitive base salary and annual bonus with potential profit-sharing contributions as well.
• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees AND dependents
• Employer retirement contributions and matching program
• Flexible spending and dependent care benefits
