  • Cook up the year-end audit process, including preparation of audit schedules, supporting documentation, and liaison with external auditors and tax preparers.
  • Support NAV calculations, management fee and carried interest computations, and waterfall mechanics in partnership with the administrator.
  • Aid in building and documenting scalable accounting processes, internal controls, and policies as the firm grows its AUM and investor base.
  • Respond to ad hoc investor due diligence requests and support quarterly investor reporting and capital account statements.

  • Prior experience working with a fund administrator and coordinating year-end audits for private fund vehicles.
  • Strong Excel skills; experience with fund accounting or portfolio management systems (e.g., Investran, eFront, Allvue, or similar).
  • High attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and comfort operating in a lean, fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
  • Big Four or national accounting firm audit background with private funds or asset management clients.
  • Prior experience at a private credit manager, BDC, or hybrid capital/special situations platform.
