🚀 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.
