Instead of layering technology on top of outdated systems, they built their own accounting ledger and infrastructure from the ground up — enabling real-time data, automated allocations, fast capital activity processing, and intelligent tools that let finance leaders instantly analyze fund activity without manual work.Today, the platform supports a significant and growing private markets footprint and is scaling rapidly. The business is well-capitalized, financially stable, and already operating sustainably — a rare combination at this stage. Every employee participates in the upside through equity ownership, and the team is directly shaping how private market accounting will function over the next decade.For fund accountants, this role offers something fundamentally different from a legacy administrator:More automation, systems exposure, and problem-solvingReal influence on how workflows, controls, and tools are builtDirect interaction with leadership and product teamsThis is an environment for high-potential fund accountants who want to stay close to technical accounting while expanding into systems, product thinking, and operational design — without stepping away from core fund work.If you've ever thought, “I like fund accounting, but I don't want to spend years in a checkbox, NAV-factory environment,” this is the alternative.Role OverviewThis role is designed for fund accountants who enjoy the technical side of the work but don't want to spend their career operating inside rigid, manual, legacy systems.You'll sit at the intersection of fund accounting, automation, and operational design , owning real fund activity while also influencing how accounting workflows and systems are built, improved, and scaled. Instead of processing transactions after the fact, you'll work in a real-time environment where data flows faster, manual work is intentionally removed, and accountants have meaningful input into how the platform evolves.Day-to-day, you'll remain deeply embedded in core fund accounting — but with significantly more visibility, autonomy, and impact than a traditional administrator role. You'll work closely with leadership, product, and engineering teams to solve real operational problems, improve accuracy and efficiency, and help scale a next-generation private markets platform.This is an opportunity to future-proof your fund accounting skill set by pairing strong technical fundamentals with systems exposure, automation, and product thinking — without stepping away from the accounting itself.What You'll Be Responsible ForOwn end-to-end fund accounting processes including journal entries, allocations, capital activity, valuations, waterfalls, and investor-level reportingReview and validate automated calculations, ensuring accuracy while continuously improving how work is performedAnswer real-time accounting and operational questions using modern reporting and analytics toolsPartner with product and engineering teams to refine workflows, enhance controls, and shape new functionalitySupport onboarding of new fund clients and migration of historical data into a scalable platformAssist with audit support and contribute to building a durable, repeatable internal control frameworkTake on increasing ownership and complexity as the platform, client base, and assets continue to growQualifications1–10 years of experience in fund accounting or public accounting (audit)Strong understanding of private equity, credit, venture, or multi-asset fund structuresAbility to operate in a fast-moving, evolving environmentInterest in systems, automation, and working closely with product-oriented teamsStrong analytical skills and a proactive, ownership-driven mindsetAbility to work in-office five days per week in New YorkFlexibility to support time-sensitive work when requiredWhy This Role Stands OutEquity participation at an established, financially stable platformExposure to both fund accounting and product/system developmentOpportunity to move away from manual processes and focus on higher‑value analysisClear path for growth within a rapidly scaling organizationRare chance to influence how accounting tools and workflows are designed from the insideSeniority levelMid‑Senior levelEmployment typeFull‑timeJob functionAccounting/Auditing and FinanceIndustriesInvestment Management, Financial Services, and Venture Capital and Private Equity PrincipalsBenefitsMedical insuranceVision insurance401(k)Paid paternity leavePaid maternity leaveDisability insuranceReferrals increase your chances of interviewing at Atlas Search by 2xGet notified about new Fund Accountant jobs in New York, NY.#J-18808-Ljbffr
