Manager, Fund Accounting
maybe. We need sections: - About the role: content from "About The Role" paragraph. - Responsibilities: from "How You Will Make An Impact" bullet list (the sentences). Should be list items. - Requirements: from "Required Experience" bullet list? Actually "Required Experience" includes bullet list of requirements. Could be Requirements section. - Qualifications: maybe "What Sets You Apart" (CPA designation plus, Master's degree preferred). Could be Qualifications. - Skills: maybe from required experience includes skills like analytical, communication, proficiency in software, etc. Could be Skills. - Benefits: from "SS&C Technologies offers a comprehensive total rewards package..." includes medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, PTO, holidays, parental leave, professional development reimbursement. - Pay: from salary ranges for NY and MA. Also mention discretionary bonus/equity awards. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned; hybrid locations indicate hybrid work but not schedule specifics. The posting does not give schedule details like full-time, part-time, hours. So we should NOT create Schedule section because no specific content. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide which content goes in which section.
Let's extract:
About The Role paragraph:
"As a Manager, Fund Accounting, you will lead and manage a team responsible for delivering comprehensive fund administration services to our alternative investment clients. This role requires a strong understanding of complex fund structures, private equity, hedge fund, and/or real estate accounting principles, and a commitment to operational excellence."
That's prose.
Responsibilities (How You Will Make An Impact) list:
- Oversee the daily, weekly, and monthly accounting and reporting processes for a portfolio of alternative investment funds, including private equity, hedge funds, and/or real estate funds.
- Manage a team of fund accountants, including performance management, training, and development.
- Review and approve complex journal entries, capital calls, distributions, and investor allocations.
- Ensure accurate and timely preparation of financial statements, investor reports, and regulatory filings.
- Lead client communication and relationship management, acting as a primary point of contact for complex accounting inquiries.
- Collaborate with internal teams (e.g., operations, compliance, technology) to enhance service delivery and operational efficiency.
- Develop and implement best practices for fund accounting processes and controls.
- Stay current with industry trends, accounting pronouncements (e.g., ASC 946), and regulatory changes impacting alternative investments.
- Participate in new client onboarding and due diligence processes.

That's a list.
Required Experience bullet list:

- Demonstrated commitment to accuracy and attention to detail.
We could split into Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (analytical, communication, software proficiency). But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine Requirements and Skills into one section? But we have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to include.
We have content for:
- About the role: yes.
- Responsibilities: yes.
- Requirements: could be education + experience (Bachelor's degree, 7+ years, etc). That's substantive.
- Qualifications: maybe "What Sets You Apart": CPA designation is a plus, Master's degree preferred. That's qualifications.
- Skills: could be the analytical, communication, software proficiency, etc. But some of those are already in Required Experience. Might be redundant. However we could still have Skills section listing those specific skills: analytical, problem-solving, organizational, communication, interpersonal, proficiency in fund accounting software, Excel, ability to work fast-paced, commitment to accuracy.
But we need to avoid duplication? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't forbid duplication, but we should not repeat same content unnecessarily? It says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine some.
We could make Requirements include education, experience, knowledge of structures, GAAP/IFRS, ability to manage team. Skills could include analytical, problem-solving, organizational, communication, interpersonal, software proficiency, Excel, fast-paced environment, accuracy.
Qualifications: CPA plus, Master's preferred.
Benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, PTO, holidays, parental leave, professional development reimbursement.
Pay: salary ranges for NY and MA, plus discretionary bonus/equity awards.
Schedule: none.
We also need to include locations maybe as a short
before sections.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must not include application instructions like "Click here to apply." or "Unless explicitly requested..." etc. Also remove EEO boilerplate.
Thus final HTML:
Locations: New York City (hybrid) | Boston, MA (hybrid) | Windsor, CT (hybrid) | Jacksonville, FL (hybrid) | Dallas, TX (hybrid)
Then sections.
Let's craft.
