*** This is not a traditional fund administrator
.

The firm is building a modern, AI-native accounting and operations platform purpose-built for private markets. Instead of layering technology on top of outdated systems, they built their own accounting ledger and infrastructure from the ground up — enabling real-time data, automated allocations, fast capital activity processing, and intelligent tools that let finance leaders instantly analyze fund activity without manual work.

Today, the platform supports a significant and growing private markets footprint and is scaling rapidly. The business is well-capitalized, financially stable, and already operating sustainably — a rare combination at this stage. Every employee participates in the upside through equity ownership, and the team is directly shaping how private market accounting will function over the next decade.

For fund accountants, this role offers something fundamentally different from a legacy administrator:

• More automation, systems exposure, and problem-solving
• Real influence on how workflows, controls, and tools are built
• Direct interaction with leadership and product teams

This is an environment for high-potential fund accountants who want to stay close to technical accounting while expanding into systems, product thinking, and operational design — without stepping away from core fund work.

If you’ve ever thought, “I like fund accounting, but I don’t want to spend years in a checkbox, NAV-factory environment,” this is the alternative.

This role is designed for fund accountants who enjoy the technical side of the work but don’t want to spend their career operating inside rigid, manual, legacy systems.

You’ll sit at the intersection of fund accounting, automation, and operational design
, owning real fund activity while also influencing how accounting workflows and systems are built, improved, and scaled. Instead of processing transactions after the fact, you’ll work in a real-time environment where data flows faster, manual work is intentionally removed, and accountants have meaningful input into how the platform evolves.

Day-to-day, you’ll remain deeply embedded in core fund accounting — but with significantly more visibility, autonomy, and impact than a traditional administrator role. You’ll work closely with leadership, product, and engineering teams to solve real operational problems, improve accuracy and efficiency, and help scale a next-generation private markets platform.

This is an opportunity to future-proof your fund accounting skill set by pairing strong technical fundamentals with systems exposure, automation, and product thinking — without stepping away from the accounting itself.
