Full Job Description
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You will prepare and review partnership tax returns, coordinate K-1 production and delivery, and serve as the internal expert on fund-level tax questions. If your background is in individual tax, corporate tax, or large-firm compliance work with no exposure to pass-through entities and fund structures, this is not the right fit. If you have spent meaningful time in partnership tax, ideally in the fund administration, private equity, or venture capital space, keep reading.

What you'll own

  • Prepare and review federal and state partnership tax returns (Form 1065 and related schedules) for venture capital fund clients
  • Manage K-1 production, quality review, and delivery to limited partners
  • Coordinate with fund accountants and external CPAs to gather source data and resolve discrepancies
  • Respond to tax notices and support client inquiries on fund-level tax matters
  • Track filing deadlines across a portfolio of funds and ensure nothing slips
  • Identify and flag technical issues (allocations, Section 704(b), carried interest treatment, PFIC considerations) and escalate appropriately
  • Support process improvements to make the K-1 delivery workflow faster and more accurate at scale


What You Have:

  • Active CPA license
  • 5+ years of experience in partnership tax, with meaningful time spent on fund structures (venture capital, private equity, or fund of funds)
  • Deep fluency with Form 1065, Schedule K-1, and state composite/withholding filing requirements
  • Experience working in or alongside a fund administrator, registered investment advisor, or public accounting firm with an investment management practice
  • Familiarity with fund accounting concepts: capital accounts, waterfall mechanics, allocation schedules
  • Comfort with tax software (UltraTax, CCH Axcess, or similar)
  • Strong reviewer instincts; you catch what others miss
  • Self-directed work style; you manage your own deadlines without being chased


What We Offer:

  • Meaningful impact through building infrastructure that expands access to venture capital globally
  • Opportunity for career growth and role expansion as the platform scales
  • Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
  • Remote-first work environment with thoughtful, high-caliber teammates
  • A working schedule for adults, including flexible hours and flexible PTO
