Job description

Denver, CO | Full-Time | Reports to the Chief Financial Officer

About the Firm

We are a venture and growth equity manager with approximately $15 billion in assets under management, investing in leading private technology companies across artificial intelligence, space, defense technology, and next-generation infrastructure. We operate with a small, senior team and maintain institutional-grade relationships across audit, tax, fund administration, and banking.

The Role

We're looking for a Management Company Accountant to take full ownership of the accounting function for our management company entity. Reporting to the CFO, you'll be the single accountable owner of the management company general ledger, its payables and billing cycles, its intercompany positions, and its budgeting and forecasting process.

This role is scoped specifically to the management company — fund accounting, SPV administration, investor reporting, and the annual fund audit sit with a separate senior member of the finance team, giving you uninterrupted control of the management company books.

What You'll Own

General Ledger & Monthly Close

• Maintain the general ledger continuously, so cash, payables, receivables, intercompany balances, and accruals are accurate at any point in the month
• Own the monthly close end to end against a documented cadence and committed delivery date
• Prepare and review all balance sheet reconciliations and maintain an audit-ready close binder
• Produce the monthly reporting package (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, budget vs. actual with variance commentary)
• Maintain a complete intercompany ledger across the management company, GP entities, flagship funds, and SPV complex, including loan tracking and interest accrual
• Administer expense allocation and reimbursement between the management company and the funds
• Own all firm billing — management fee invoicing, expense reimbursements, intercompany charges, and third-party billing — plus the AR ledger and collections
• Administer the full AP cycle: invoice intake, coding, allocation, approval routing, and payment execution
• Administer the corporate card program (Ramp), including issuance, controls, coding, and reconciliation

Budgeting, Forecasting & Cash

• Build the annual operating budget with the CFO and department leads
• Maintain a rolling forecast refreshed monthly (headcount, compensation, professional fees, operating costs)
• Maintain a cash forecast, monitor liquidity and runway, and flag funding needs early
• Coordinate payroll, benefits, and compensation accruals with the external payroll provider and CFO

Process, Controls & Compliance

• Document written procedures for every recurring task
• Maintain segregation of duties and appropriate approval controls
• Identify and implement process improvements and automation
• Own sales and use tax compliance — nexus monitoring, registrations, and periodic filings across all applicable jurisdictions
• A general ledger that's accurate and current at all times
• A reliable monthly close package delivered on a committed date
• A fully reconciled intercompany schedule with no aged or unexplained differences
• All firm billing issued on schedule and AR actively managed
• A fully coded, reconciled corporate card program
• An annual budget and monthly forecast with variance commentary
• Documented procedures across all recurring responsibilities
• Timely, accurate sales and use tax filings in every applicable jurisdiction

What You Bring

Required

• 5–10 years of accounting experience in a corporate, fund, or professional services environment
• Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of a GL and monthly close, including financial statement prep
• Strong AP/AR fundamentals, including vendor management and 1099 reporting
• Substantive intercompany accounting experience across multiple related entities (loans, interest accrual, reconciliation)
• Experience with operating budgets, rolling forecasts, and variance analysis
• Advanced Excel skills and familiarity with a modern accounting stack (QuickBooks Online, Bill.com, Ramp, third-party payroll)
• A high standard of accuracy and a disciplined approach to high-volume recurring work

Preferred

• CPA, or active progress toward certification
• Big 4 or mid-tier public accounting foundation
• Prior experience at an investment manager, asset manager, or other financial services firm
• Familiarity with management fee mechanics, manager/fund expense allocation, and partnership-level accounting

Who Thrives in This Role

You're meticulous, self-directed, and comfortable owning a complete accounting function solo. You're used to high transaction volume across payables, corporate card activity, billing, and intercompany entries — without sacrificing accuracy. This role has visibility into payroll, partner compensation, and GP economics, so discretion is essential. You value depth of ownership within a clearly defined remit, favor durable and well-documented processes, raise questions early, and take pride in a clean, well-supported set of books.

Who You'll Work With

You'll report to the CFO and work closely with Operations and Investor Relations, CPAs on tax matters, fund administrators on fee and allocation questions, the external payroll provider, and banking partners.
