Our Ideal Candidate
You have 3–5 years of experience in finance or accounting operations, and 1+ years working directly with private funds. You have a solid working knowledge of private fund structures, calculations, data, and workflows.
You're comfortable taking ownership of complex work and can work independently with the data, structures, workflows, and edge cases that come with private fund accounting without much oversight. You're energized by doing the work directly, including configuring, testing, troubleshooting, and working through complex data, rather than stepping back from it. When you hit an edge case, you dig in, weigh the options, and bring a solution. You're collaborative by nature, comfortable partnering across a cross-functional, cross-border team, and you give and take feedback well. Less experienced teammates naturally lean on you for guidance.
Candidates with more extensive private funds experience are encouraged to apply. We may level the role at a more senior level based on experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Own Financial Implementation Work: Own either a substantial piece of a larger financial implementation involving multiple entities, structures, or workflows, or a full, single-entity implementation end-to-end, with minimal oversight.
- Propose Solutions: Identify edge cases independently and propose solutions rather than escalating for direction on every issue.
- Guide Others: Provide guidance to Associates on specific pieces of work.
- Partner Cross-Functionally: Work closely with the U.S.-based Implementation, Product, and Engineering teams, surfacing issues uncovered during testing and implementation.
Requirements
- 3–5 years of experience in accounting or finance operations.
- 1+ years of experience in the private funds industry as a fund accountant, private funds operations professional, or implementation specialist at a fund administrator, fund manager, or fund management software provider. We encourage those with more private experience to apply and you will be leveled up to a senior role.
- Demonstrated comfort managing large, complex data sets.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Excel.
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, a related field, or equivalent experience. CPA or equivalent experience is nice to have.
- Fluent written and spoken English (B2+), with strong communication skills for daily coordination with a U.S.-based team.
Preferred Skills
- Track record of implementing, configuring, or rolling out software, systems, or operational processes, ideally with SaaS or cloud-based platforms.
- Hands-on experience using AI tools to build or support automations.
- Experience adjusting quickly to evolving workflows, priorities, and tooling.
