Senior Fund Accountant

Senior Fund Accountant | Hybrid | Chicago, IL

We're partnering with a well-established and growing financial services firm seeking a Senior Fund Accountant to join its collaborative Chicago team. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious accounting professional who wants greater exposure, career advancement, and the chance to work alongside experienced industry leaders in a hybrid work environment.

If you have public accounting experience serving investment funds, private equity, hedge funds, or other financial services clients, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

• Prepare and review US GAAP financial statements for investment funds.
• Manage fund accounting activities, including NAV calculations, capital calls, and distributions.
• Analyze financial results, perform reconciliations, and investigate variances.
• Assist with investor reporting and other strategic projects.
• Mentor junior team members while collaborating across multiple departments.

Requirements:

• 2-6 years of public accounting experience with financial services clients.
• CPA preferred.
• Strong understanding of GAAP and investment fund accounting.
• A desire to learn, grow, and build a long-term career in financial services.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without current or future employer sponsorship.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Hybrid schedule with excellent work-life balance.
• Competitive compensation plus bonus opportunity.
• Outstanding medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Generous PTO.
• Clear career progression with opportunities for continued growth and promotion.

This is more than just another senior fund accounting role—it's an opportunity to join a firm that invests in its people and provides the resources, mentorship, and career path to help you succeed.

Even if your experience isn't a perfect match, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation.
