APPLY NOW (opens in a new tab)Job Description: Fund Accountant — Fully Remote Private investment firm
- Remote (DC Metro Area)
- $60,000–$80,000 base + Bonus + Deal Co-Investment
Most fund accounting jobs at this level give you one slice of the close and keep you there.
This isn’t that.
You’d sit at the center of how a private investment firm actually runs — the general ledger, the wires, the distributions, and the investor records behind a portfolio of roughly 25 companies. And unusually for a seat at this level, you’d have the ability to invest your own capital alongside the firm in its deals.
The details
Fully remote, but must be in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area. They may open an office in the future requiring 1-2 days/week in office.$60,000–$80,000 base, plus bonus
Co-investment — the opportunity to put your own money into the firm’s deals
What you’d own
Day-to-day general ledger and fund accounting
Wires, capital calls and investor distributions — a significant part of the role
Investor onboarding, subscription documents and capital account records
Audit-ready documentation across deals, closings and quarterly statements
Regulatory support including Form D tracking and Blue Sky filings
Making all of the above faster and cleaner — automation and process cleanup are genuinely welcomed here
What they’re looking for
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (Finance or Economics with strong accounting coursework also works)
Early-career, with fund accounting, fund administration, venture capital, private equity or public accounting experience especially relevant
Strong Excel and genuinely exceptional attention to detail — you’ll be handling wires and legal documents
Comfortable talking directly with investors by email, phone and video
Hungry. This is built for someone who wants to grow into more, not someone looking to do the same task for a decade.
Why people take this job
Fund administration teaches you one client’s slice. This teaches you the whole machine — how capital gets called, how money moves, how deals close, and how investors actually get paid. That’s a skill set that travels.
