About the role
Senior Fund Accountant | New York City | Private Markets Looking to take the next step in your accounting career without sacrificing work-life balance? We're partnering with a growing alternative investment platform looking to add a talented accounting professional to its NYC team. This is an opportunity to move beyond routine accounting and reporting, gain exposure to the broader investment business, and build a long-term career within fund finance. Whether you're currently at an investment manager, fund administrator, or public accounting firm, this could be a great opportunity to expand your responsibilities and accelerate your career.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Support accounting and financial reporting for alternative investment funds
- Review NAVs, investor allocations, capital activity, and fund-level expenses
- Assist with financial statements, investor reporting, and quarterly close processes
- Work closely with fund administrators, auditors, and internal investment teams
- Gain exposure to valuations, investment transactions, and fund operations
- Contribute to process improvements and broader finance initiatives
What We're Looking For:
- 3–7 years of accounting or audit experience
- Background in fund accounting, fund administration, or public accounting (Big 4, Top 10, or similar)
- Exposure to private equity, private credit, real estate funds, hedge funds, or other alternative investments
- Strong understanding of financial reporting, fund structures, or investment accounting
- Motivated professionals looking for greater ownership and long-term career progression
- Why Make the Move?
- Career Growth: Opportunity to develop toward Manager and Controller-level responsibilities
- Broader Exposure: Gain insight into the full investment lifecycle beyond traditional accounting
- Leadership Access: Work directly with experienced finance professionals
- Work-Life Balance: A more sustainable environment without sacrificing career development
- Professional Development: Expand your technical and operational knowledge within alternative investments
- If you're an auditor considering your first move in-house, a fund administrator looking to join the investment management side, or an experienced fund accountant ready for more responsibility, it would be great to connect.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
