  • Set department policies and establish KPIs for the business unit.

  • Oversee and manage the review of quarterly and annual financial statements and investor reporting for fund administration clients and managed funds, with a focus on private credit and direct lending: set review standards and assign and supervise reviewers.

  • Take on review and reporting directly when needed, including complex or high-risk funds, new structures and periods of heavy workload.

  • Manage the quarterly and annual reporting cycle so all deadlines are met, addressing timing issues early and communicating clearly with clients.

  • Understand each fund's structure, operating agreement and underwriting model well enough to anticipate activity and ensure proper accounting treatment.

  • Advise clients on the accounting and reporting implications of new funds, fund amendments and new lending initiatives, getting involved early in fund formation.

  • Manage relationships with outside audit and tax firms so annual audits and tax filings are accurate and on time.

  • Ensure timely, accurate processing of distributions, fees and intercompany balances, working with corporate Finance on fee agreements and collections.

  • Oversee treasury operations for client and managed funds, including cash management, disbursements, distributions and bank account administration.

  • Oversee loan servicing for the funds we administer, including billing, payment processing, loan reporting and borrower communication.

  • Ensure cash movement, payment and distribution procedures are defined, controlled and followed, with appropriate review and approval.

  • Keep treasury, loan servicing and fund accounting closely coordinated so cash, loan balances and reporting reconcile.

  • Own the Fund Administration control environment over financial reporting, treasury, loan servicing and client deliverables.

  • Ensure processes comply with GAAP, IRS, NMTC and regulatory requirements, and own the underlying controls for SOC 1 readiness.

  • Serve as senior relationship owner and escalation point for fund administration clients, managing expectations against contract scope, service levels and fund documents.

  • Help sell fund administration services: lead technical sales conversations, scope engagements and join pitches and client presentations.

Requirements

Qualifications:

  • Ten or more years of fund administration, fund accounting or audit experience, including significant hands-on work with private credit or direct lending funds.

  • Hands-on experience as a senior reviewer of fund financial statements and investor reporting, and comfort stepping back into that work as needed.

  • Experience selling or growing fund administration or similar professional services, including scoping engagements, pricing work and presenting to prospective clients.

  • Significant experience with internal controls, external auditors and compliance.

  • Bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field.

  • Strong client service, communication and conflict resolution skills, with a record of training and developing staff.

  • Advanced proficiency with Excel and the Microsoft Office suite.
