Senior Accounting Associate

🌱 We're hiring an Associate, Corporate Accounting | New York, NY

Are you a CPA with private equity or public accounting roots looking for a high-ownership role at a firm where your work actually matters? This might be the move.

Our client is a fast-growing, SEC-registered investment manager with over $2B in assets under management, founded by some of the most accomplished operators in the industry. They're expanding their Finance team and looking for a sharp accountant who wants to own a process, not just support one.

📌 What you'll own:

• Full monthly close including journal entries, cash reconciliations, capital account allocations, and unaudited financial statements

• Year-end audit coordination with external auditors, start to finish

• All vendor payments for management company and fund expenses, including chargebacks to funds

• FP&A analysis of budget vs. actuals for senior leadership

• Data prep for regulatory filings and annual/quarterly tax reporting

✅ What we're looking for:

• CPA (required)

• Bachelor's in Accounting or Finance

• 3–4 years of corporate accounting at a private equity or hedge fund — or public accounting covering fund clients

• Proven experience coordinating year-end audits with external auditors

• Strong Excel skills and the communication chops to present financials to senior leadership

• Bonus: familiarity with carried interest, management fee revenue, ASC 606, or operating leases

💰 Compensation:

• Base salary: $125,000 – $140,000

• Competitive benefits package

💡 Why this role:

This is a lean, high-caliber team, which means real ownership, real visibility, and a real opportunity to grow with a firm doing meaningful work at scale. If you're a self-starter who wants to be relied on, not managed, we'd love to talk.

Please apply if you meet the requirements!
