• Collaborate with internal teams (investment, operations, IR) on reporting, cash management, investor requests, and strategic initiatives.
• Manage relationships with third-party administrators, ensuring service quality and accuracy of NAV and reporting packages.
• Supervise and mentor junior accounting staff; establish best practices and support their professional development.
• Participate in system implementations, workflow enhancements, and other operational improvement projects.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA preferred.
• 3–10 years of private equity, venture capital, or alternative investment fund accounting experience; mix of public accounting and in-house a plus.

• Excellent analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple deadlines.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with senior stakeholders.
• Comfortable in a lean, fast-moving environment with broad responsibilities.
