Fund Accountant — Austin, TX (Hybrid)

Schedule: In-office Mon–Thurs | Remote Fridays

Base Salary: $90,000–$110,000

Quick read before you apply (so we don’t waste your time)

This team is consistently successful with candidates who have:

• 3+ years in public accounting or financial services accounting

• CPA or MBA strongly preferred (CPA candidates / CPA-eligible may be considered if other experience is a strong match)

• A resume that shows stable progression (or a clear, credible explanation for moves)

• A self-directed style — people who take initiative and own deliverables

• Comfort with a 4-day in-office cadence (Mon–Thurs)

The opportunity

We’re partnering with a leading institutional investment organization in Austin. This role sits on a Major Fund Accounting & Reporting team supporting investment accounting and operational activities across a multi-asset platform, including public markets and alternative investments.

If you’re looking for meaningful exposure beyond a typical corporate GL role — including investment activity, reconciliations, reporting, valuations/pricing workflows, and process improvements — this is a strong opportunity.

What you’ll do

• Support monthly close and ongoing investment accounting processes

• Prepare and maintain supporting workpapers and reporting packages for stakeholders

• Assist with private investment and hedge fund valuation/pricing workflows

• Monitor private investment activity (capital calls/distributions) and track public/hedge fund activity

• Perform bank/custodian/external manager reconciliations

• Support consolidations, audit workpapers, and elements of financial statement preparation

• Calculate and process management fees

• Contribute to ad hoc projects and continuous improvement

What they’re looking for

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or relate field

• 3+ years of public accounting or financial services accounting experience

• Strong workpaper discipline, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities

• Strong written/verbal communication and collaborative working style

• Proficiency with Excel and comfort learning workflow tools (SharePoint / BI tools are a plus)

Strongly preferred

• CPA or MBA (CPA in progress can be considered if paired with strong relevant experience)

• Exposure to investment accounting concepts (reconciliations, valuation support, audit support, alternatives, fund structures)

The honest part (this is why good people succeed here)

• This team values people who can take initiative and solve problems without needing constant direction.

• They care about stability and progression; frequent job changes can be a concern unless the story is clear and reasonable.

Pay Details: $90,000.00 to $110,000.00 per year
