Job Description

About the Role


This is a high-impact, fully engaged role within a growing private equity investment platform focused on FinTech. Responsibilities include:

  • Fund Valuations

  • Projections and Forecasting

  • Client and Investor Reporting

  • Investor Inquiries and Communications

  • Partnering closely with Investor Relations and the CFO

You’ll be reviewing fund administrator work—not preparing it—freeing you up to focus on more analytical and strategic tasks.

  • A Collaborative Culture: The team genuinely likes working together and fosters a "work hard, play hard" environment with a strong sense of camaraderie.

  • Growth Mode: The firm recently closed on a fund. There will be additional fund raises in the future.

  • Exceptional Workspace: State-of-the-art offices, on-site gym, locker rooms, daily catered lunches, abundant natural light, and modern breakout areas designed to inspire collaboration.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • 2–4 years in public accounting, with a focus on fund audit or partnership tax

  • Strong analytical, interpersonal, and communication skills

  • CPA designation preferred but not required

  • Eager to be involved in all aspects of fund operations—not just the numbers

Work Environment:
Hybrid work schedule with in-office presence 3 days a week, remaining 2 days are work from home. .
