Employment typeFull-time

Reports to: VP of Finance

Type: Full-Time

About the Role

We’re hiring a Fund Finance & Operations Senior Associate to support the financial, operational and compliance backbone of our venture capital platform.

This role requires a strong accounting or audit foundation. You will own core fund finance processes and ensure accurate reporting, robust controls and regulatory compliance across the fund and management company. You’ll work closely with the VP of Finance and coordinate with service providers and/or internal resources as appropriate.

This is not an investing role. It is best suited for someone who enjoys fund accounting, structure, accuracy and accountability, and wants to build depth in fund operations within a VC environment.

Key Responsibilities

Fund Accounting & Financial Operations

  • Own day-to-day fund accounting and reporting, including capital calls, distributions and fund-level financial statements

  • Coordinate with service providers and/or internal resources to ensure timely, accurate and compliant reporting

  • Support audits and tax filings, working closely with auditors and tax advisors through year-end close

  • Ensure all financial records, working papers and documentation are complete, accurate and audit-ready

  • Prepare fund performance and management company reports for internal stakeholders and LPs

  • Partner with the VP of Finance to improve processes and streamline fund and management company operations

Compliance & Regulatory

  • Support compliance across the fund, fund manager and management company

  • Assist with regulatory filings, surveys, disclosures and ongoing compliance requirements

  • Ensure adherence to internal policies, governance frameworks and investment restrictions

Investor Reporting & Stakeholder Support

  • Support the preparation of quarterly investor reports, ensuring accuracy and consistency

  • Respond to LP financial and operational queries in coordination with senior leadership

Internal Controls & Risk

  • Support the implementation and monitoring of internal control frameworks

  • Identify and flag financial, operational and compliance risks

  • Work with service providers and internal teams to maintain a strong control environment

Fund Operations & Projects

  • Support new fund launches, operational initiatives and process improvements

  • Provide hands-on operational support to the management company as the platform scales

Who This Role Is For

This role is a strong fit if you:

  • Have a strong foundation in accounting or audit

  • Have experience in fund accounting, fund administration, or audit covering investment funds (VC/PE preferred)

  • Are comfortable owning accounting, audit and compliance processes end-to-end

  • Enjoy working with detail, structure and deadlines

  • Want to build a long-term career in fund operations, not transition into investing

Experience & Qualifications

  • 3–7 years of experience in accounting or audit, ideally within financial services, VC/PE, or fund administration

  • Direct experience working with auditors, tax advisors and/or fund administrators

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics or a related field

  • CPA, CFA or equivalent professional qualification strongly preferred

Skills That Matter

  • Strong accounting fundamentals and attention to detail

  • Clear written and verbal communication

  • Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and deadlines

  • High integrity, discretion and professionalism

  • Strong Excel skills and comfort with financial documentation

Why This Role Matters

You’ll be a core operator behind the scenes, ensuring the fund runs smoothly, accurately and to institutional standards — enabling the investment team to focus on backing and building great companies.

Important Note

This role requires prior accounting or audit experience. Candidates without this background will not be a fit.
