🚀 Fund Accountant | $115K–$130K + Bonus + Carry
📍 Menlo Park | Hybrid
This is not your typical fund accounting role.
I'm working on a confidential opportunity with a top-performing early-stage venture capital firm managing over $2 billion in assets and investing in the next generation of AI, infrastructure, and enterprise technology companies.
They're looking for a sharp, detail-oriented Fund Accountant to join a lean finance team, work directly with the Controller and CFO, and grow alongside an ambitious investment platform.
The leadership team is approachable, down-to-earth, and genuinely invested in developing the next person who joins.
💡 What You'll Do
-
Support quarterly fund accounting, financial reporting, and investment valuation schedules
-
Prepare workpapers for investment purchases, sales, and other fund transactions
-
Coordinate capital calls, distributions, management fees, and fund expenses
-
Work with the Controller, CFO, and external fund administrator on reporting and operations
-
Support audits, tax reporting, investor K-1s, and investor inquiries
-
Contribute to new fund launches, process improvements, and special projects
-
Explore AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to improve workflows and efficiency
Requirements
Who They're Looking For
-
2–3 years of accounting experience, ideally in VC, private equity, alternative investments, or public accounting
-
A strong foundation in accounting, Excel, and financial reporting
-
Exposure to partnership accounting, capital calls, distributions, or fund administrators is a plus
-
Detail-oriented, analytical, organized, and committed to producing accurate work
-
Curious about venture capital, AI, technology, and automation
-
Someone who takes ownership, communicates well, and thrives in a small, collaborative team
🌟 Why This Opportunity Stands Out
-
💰 $115K–$130K base + bonus + carry
-
📈 Join a VC platform with $2B+ in AUM
-
🤝 Work directly with an approachable CFO and Controller who are invested in your growth
-
🧠 Gain exposure to fund accounting, investor reporting, audits, tax, and fund operations
-
🤖 Bring AI tools and process improvement into your day-to-day work
-
🏖️ Strong work-life balance + unlimited PTO
-
🏥 Gold-plan-equivalent medical coverage
-
💼 4% Safe Harbor 401(k) match + monthly cell phone reimbursement
If you're an accountant with a couple of years of experience who wants to get into venture capital and build a career on a lean, high-performing team, this is worth a conversation.
