Job Description
Fund Accounting Manager Location: Chicago Loop | Hybrid (2-3 days/week)
Compensation: $120,000 – $145,000 base salary
Start Date: August/September
Why This Role Stands Out: This is a fantastic opportunity to join a rapidly growing financial services firm that partners with leading private equity, venture capital, and fund-of-funds managers. With $500B+ in assets under administration and a recent strategic investment from a global private equity sponsor, the firm is scaling fast and evolving rapidly — and Chicago is one of their top growth markets. If you’re looking to step into a client-facing leadership role with visibility, impact, and growth potential, this is the kind of opportunity that doesn’t come along often.
What You’ll Do: As a
Fund Accounting Manager , you’ll be the primary point of contact for a portfolio of clients — many of whom operate within the
SBIC/SBA space . You’ll lead day-to-day client management, ensure deliverables are completed accurately and efficiently, and oversee the internal teams supporting each engagement.
Key Responsibilities: - Manage a portfolio of private fund clients, acting as the relationship lead
- Oversee delivery of fund administration services across engagements
- Lead communication with clients regarding timelines, expectations, and technical questions
- Manage and mentor internal teams (typically includes at least 1 Fund Controller and 1 Senior Associate)
- Review and approve work related to investor reporting, capital calls, distributions, allocations, and financial statement packages
- Maintain accountability for timelines, profitability, and service quality across engagements
- Identify opportunities to improve client experience, team performance, and process efficiency
Who You Are: - Public accounting or fund administration experience required
- Strong preference for SBIC/SBA fund experience
- Open to candidates from PE/credit fund backgrounds if they have relevant skills
- Proven ability to manage multiple client relationships
- Strong technical foundation in fund accounting and reporting
- Adept at mentoring and managing teams, with a focus on accuracy and client service
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, growing environment Thank you,
Stephanie Moncada
