Purpose of PositionThis role sits within the US Private Wealth Fund Finance & Operations team and supports the oversight and controllership framework across a portfolio of US Private Wealth fund structures, including evergreen vehicles.
Operating within an adviser model where books and records are maintained by third-party administrators, the Associate supports day-to-day controllership execution: reviewing fund administrator deliverables, performing analytical reviews, reconciling valuation outputs, and maintaining documented evidence of oversight. The role provides oversight and challenge - not preparation of the books and records.
The Associate works closely with senior members of the team and will play a meaningful role in building out the Private Wealth operations platform as it scales.
Key Responsibilities: Financial Reporting Support- Review NAV packages, financial statements, and capital activity deliverables prepared by third-party administrators.
- Provide fund-level NAV oversight across the evergreen fund range, including monthly review and sign-off support for administrator-produced NAVs.
- Recalculate incentive fees and management fees independently and reconcile results to administrator calculations, investigating and resolving differences.
- Review fund expenses and accruals for accuracy, appropriate allocation, and consistency with governing documents and expense policies.
- Perform analytical reviews of NAV movements, portfolio changes, expense trends, and fee calculations.
- Check consistency of reporting with governing documents and applicable accounting standards.
- Identify discrepancies or unusual movements, escalate appropriately, and track items through to resolution.
- Maintain documented evidence of oversight, issue logs, and reporting calendars.
Valuation & Reconciliation Support- Reconcile valuation outputs to accounting records and investigate differences.
- Support preparation of materials for governance forums from a financial reporting perspective.
- Maintain documentation linking valuation conclusions to reported NAV and performance.
Investor Reporting & Stakeholder Support- Validate financial and performance data used in investor reporting materials.
- Prepare summaries of capital activity, liquidity, and portfolio-level metrics.
- Support responses to investor financial and performance-related queries.
- Liaise with colleagues across Investments, Legal, Tax, Risk, Compliance, and Operations.
Audit, Control & Platform Build-Out- Support annual audit processes, including tracking audit queries, adjustments, and resolution.
- Maintain structured documentation evidencing adviser-side oversight and support regulatory examinations as needed.
- Assist with onboarding new fund structures into reporting and valuation workflows.
- Contribute to process improvements, controls documentation, and scalability initiatives as the team grows.
Qualifications & Experience- 3-6 years' experience in fund accounting, fund finance, or audit roles within private markets; exposure to private wealth or evergreen fund structures is beneficial.
- CPA designation (or active progress toward it) is preferred; public accounting or fund administration background is beneficial.
- Working knowledge of US GAAP applicable to investment companies and fund structures.
- Experience working with, or reviewing the output of, third-party fund administrators is desirable.
Skills & Attributes- Strong analytical and Excel skills with high attention to detail.
- Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable interacting with stakeholders across functions.
- Exceptionally well organized - manages multiple fund deadlines, checklists, and issue logs simultaneously without items falling through the cracks.
- Follows instructions and established procedures precisely; executes direction from senior team members accurately and knows when to ask questions or escalate.
- Proactive and adaptable - able to operate effectively in a growing platform where processes are still being built.
