Job Description

The Role

We are seeking a high-caliber Fund Accountant to join a growing finance team in Dallas. This isn't a "back-office" processing role; you will be an integral part of the investment lifecycle, responsible for the financial integrity and reporting of our flagship funds.

The ideal candidate is currently a Senior Associate in Public Accounting (Audit or Assurance) who is ready to exit the billable-hour treadmill and pivot into a high-growth, "buy-side" career. You will apply your forensic eye for detail to complex fund structures, capital calls, and portfolio valuations.

Key Responsibilities

• Fund Operations: Manage the full cycle of fund accounting, including the oversight of third-party administrators to ensure accurate Net Asset Value (NAV) calculations.

• Capital Management: Coordinate the execution of capital calls and distributions, ensuring precise tracking of partner commitments and unfunded mandates.

• Financial Reporting: Prepare quarterly and annual GAAP financial statements, including the Schedule of Investments, and manage the year-end audit process with external firms.

• Investment Support: Partner with the deal teams to track portfolio company performance, manage management fee calculations, and oversee waterfall distributions (carried interest).

• Compliance & Treasury: Monitor fund liquidity, manage credit facilities, and ensure compliance with Limited Partnership Agreements (LPAs).

The Ideal Profile

• The Foundation: 2–4 years of experience in Public Accounting (Audit or Assurance) is required. We value the "audit brain"—the ability to understand internal controls and trace complex transactions from inception to financial statement.

• The Credentials: Active CPA license (or a clear path to completion) is highly preferred.

• The Industry Edge: Direct experience auditing Private Equity, Hedge Funds, or Real Estate funds is a significant advantage, but we will train a "Top Tier" generalist auditor with a strong interest in Alternative Investments.

• The Toolkit: Advanced Excel skills are non-negotiable. You should be comfortable building and navigating complex workbooks involving pivot tables and intricate formulas.

• The Mindset: A "Dallas-speed" worker—someone who is proactive, highly communicative, and thrives in a lean, sophisticated team environment.
