Job Description

This is not your typical corporate accounting role. If you're an accountant who wants to get closer to the world of private equity and venture capital—while gaining exposure to how elite investment firms actually operate—this could be the opportunity that accelerates your career. Our client, Standish Management, is a firm built by CFOs, for CFOs, supporting some of the most respected private equity and venture capital firms in the market with over $650B+ in assets under administration. You'll step into a high-visibility Controller role, partnering directly with sophisticated fund clients, owning management company accounting, and becoming a trusted financial partner—not just someone closing books.

Job Responsibility

  • Lead accounting for multiple management company clients
  • Own monthly/quarterly reporting, AP, payroll, reconciliations, and financial oversight
  • Partner directly with clients and become a trusted point of contact
  • Mentor junior staff and oversee accounting workflows
  • Support tax compliance, 1099s, budgeting, and special projects
  • Collaborate with fund teams on intercompany accounting and operational improvements

Requirements

  • 4+ years of accounting experience (public or private)
  • Strong accounting foundation with the ability to manage multiple priorities and clients
  • Experience with QuickBooks and Excel
  • Someone who is proactive, client-facing, and can hit the ground running

Nice to have

Bonus points for alternative investment, PE/VC, or fund exposure

What we offer

  • Base + Bonus
  • High flexibility
  • medical, vision, dental, and life and disability insurance
  • 401(k) plan
  • free online training
