Job description

Fund Accountant - Temp-to-Hire

Location: New York, NY (Midtown, hybrid)

Compensation: $50-$55/hour

Our client, a small and established investment office, is seeking a Fund Accountant to support the accounting and operations of two investment funds and a related management company.

This is a hands-on opportunity for an accounting professional who is comfortable working in a lean environment and taking ownership of key fund operations, cash activity, reporting, and audit support.

The funds invest primarily in other funds, creating a less transaction-intensive accounting environment than a traditional fund with extensive underlying security positions. This individual will work closely with internal stakeholders and external service providers while supporting quarterly reporting and year-end deliverables.

Responsibilities:

• Review NAV packages and support quarterly fund reporting
• Manage cash activity, including wire preparation, review, approval support, and cash management
• Process and oversee accounts payable activity for the funds and management company
• Support budgeting, expense tracking, and management-company accounting
• Coordinate with fund administrators and other external service providers
• Assist with year-end audit requests, schedules, and auditor coordination
• Support K-1-related deliverables and investor reporting processes
