We are looking for a Senior Accounting Associate to join a top-tier global alternative investment platform. This role sits within a high-performing credit finance group supporting complex credit and special situations strategies. You’ll play a hands‑on role in fund accounting, portfolio monitoring, and investor reporting while partnering closely with investment professionals, portfolio management, and external service providers.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong accountant coming from public accounting (big 4 is ideal) and/or an investment advisor environment who wants to join a top performing team, often described as a "career accelerator".

Company / Team / Position Highlights

• Credit-focused investment platform operating across market cycles with a diverse and sophisticated portfolio
• Highly visible seat within the credit fund finance organization with regular interaction across investment, portfolio management, tax, legal, and investor relations teams
• Strong culture of collaboration, accountability, and internal mobility with a proven track record of development and promotion
• Opportunity to gain exposure to complex investment structures including structured capital, asset-backed positions, and debt and equity investments
• Competitive base salary with annual performance bonus and a generous profit sharing program
• Comprehensive benefits package including top-tier healthcare plans, parental leave, 401(k), and time off
• Hybrid work structure with strong flexibility and a professional, business‑casual environment

Key Responsibilities

• Support monthly and quarterly fund accounting, close, and reporting processes for credit and special situations vehicles
• Review NAVs, capital activity, returns, and investor reporting deliverables prepared by administrators
• Assist with quarterly financial statements, management fee and incentive calculations, and investor capital reporting
• Partner with investment and portfolio management teams to address financial questions and reporting needs
• Support year-end audit processes and coordinate with external auditors and service providers
• Develop an understanding of complex fund structures and related tax, legal, and accounting considerations
• Contribute to process improvements and automation initiatives to enhance reporting accuracy and efficiency

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 2-5 years of experience in public accounting (big 4) and/or at an investment advisor, fund administrator, or asset manager
• Experience supporting fund accounting and investor reporting within credit, private funds, or alternative investments
• Strong Excel skills; interest or experience with automation tools (VBA, Power BI, Alteryx, Python) a plus
