• Help shape the financial operating framework of the organization.
• Mentor and elevate fund accounting team members.
• 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.

• Strong familiarity with LPAs and their accounting implications.
• Proven experience making and defending accounting judgment calls in complex, multi-fund environments.
• Experience interfacing directly with General Partners, CFOs, or fund principals.
• Experience reviewing and elevating the work of other accountants.
• 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.

Requirements

• Ability to operate confidently in edge cases where clear precedent may not exist.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain accounting concepts to non-accountants.
• Ability to lead through clarity, collaboration, and consistency while holding a high bar for accuracy.

Benefits

• Meaningful impact through building infrastructure that expands access to venture capital globally.
• Opportunity for career growth and role expansion as the platform scales.
• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience.
• Remote-first work environment with thoughtful, high-caliber teammates.

• $150,000 - $190,000 a year.
