About the role

Serve as a trusted financial leader within the company that is evolving from a services-heavy model to a technology-enabled platform.
Serve as the primary accounting authority for complex venture fund structures while elevating the systems, standards, and controls that enable our platform to scale.
Work directly with General Partners, navigate technical escalations with confidence, and bring clarity to complex matters such as waterfalls, carry accruals, side letters, and multi-entity structures.
Help shape the financial operating framework of the organization, mentor and elevate fund accounting team members, and partner closely with Compliance, Treasury, and Product to strengthen automation and reduce operational fragility.
Improve workflows, standardize complex processes, and contribute to a platform that integrates accounting, compliance, and technology.

7–10+ years in fund accounting or fund administration, with meaningful exposure to venture capital or private equity fund structures and full lifecycle workflows.
Demonstrated experience working with European and American waterfalls, capital calls and distributions, carry modeling, clawbacks, side letters, and ASC 820 fair value considerations. Strong familiarity with LPAs and their accounting implications.
Proven experience making and defending accounting judgment calls in complex, multi-fund environments. Ability to operate confidently in edge cases where clear precedent may not exist.
Experience interfacing directly with General Partners, CFOs, or fund principals. Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain accounting concepts to non-accountants and defend positions when challenged.
Experience reviewing and elevating the work of other accountants. Ability to lead through clarity, collaboration, and consistency while holding a high bar for accuracy.
Experience partnering with Product, Engineering, or Operations teams to translate accounting requirements into scalable systems, workflows, or tooling.
Comfort operating in a remote, fast-moving, and evolving organization without excessive structure or oversight.
