Full Job Description
Role Overview:
This is a newly created role driven by platform growth. The VP will own financial oversight and control for a portfolio of complex evergreen private credit funds. They will report to an SVP within a lean, senior-level team, and the role goes well beyond traditional fund accounting. Key responsibilities:
Own the accounting and control framework for a group of open-ended private credit funds, including retail-accessible vehicles
Oversee fund administrators on NAV production, valuations, fee calculations, and investor allocations
Lead the fund close cycle and review capital account statements, investor reporting, and audited financials
Oversee accounting for illiquid and complex investments: private credit, structured products, and real estate debt/equity
Act as the key liaison between fund finance and corporate finance (Controllers, Treasury)
Manage external audits, regulatory filings, and third-party service provider performance
Support new product launches and lead process improvement and automation initiatives
Experience Desired:
8-15 years of fund accounting, audit, or finance experience. The ideal path is 3+ years at a Big 4 or leading public accounting firm, followed by industry experience on complex fund structures.
Breadth across alternative strategies: private credit, structured products, real estate, and hybrid vehicles. Open-ended or evergreen experience is a plus but not required, and private equity backgrounds are welcome.
Demonstrated experience overseeing fund administrators and third-party service providers
Strong US GAAP and investment company accounting knowledge
Proven audit management and regulatory reporting experience
Polished executive presence and a track record of making a visible impact
Join at an inflection point: a major strategic growth phase, with new funds being raised in multiple regions
High visibility: direct, regular partnership with Portfolio Management and deal teams, as well as Legal, Tax, Compliance, and Operations
Strategic, not transactional: first-level review is outsourced, so the VP focuses on oversight, judgment, and building the platform rather than on detailed preparation
Build, not just maintain: hands-on involvement in new product launches and structural buildout
Modernize the function: a mandate to drive automation and AI-enabled process improvements
Sustainable pace: a focused, efficient team that works hard but rarely works evenings and never weekends
Career equity: a premier, globally recognized platform with strong long-term growth and compensation upside
