Controller – Management Company | Private Equity / VC Exposu
Controller – Management Company (think Senior Accountant / Accounting Manager level)
Compensation: $100K–$125K Base + Bonus
Flexibility: Hybrid model with a path to 1–2 days in office per month after onboarding
This is not your typical corporate accounting role.
If you’re an accountant who wants to get closer to the world of private equity and venture capital—while gaining exposure to how elite investment firms actually operate—this could be the opportunity that accelerates your career.
Our client, Standish Management, is a firm built by CFOs, for CFOs, supporting some of the most respected private equity and venture capital firms in the market with over $650B+ in assets under administration.
You’ll step into a high-visibility Controller role, partnering directly with sophisticated fund clients, owning management company accounting, and becoming a trusted financial partner—not just someone closing books.
What Makes This Role Different
- Get exposure to top-tier PE & VC firms and learn how premier investment platforms operate
- Work with a firm known for attracting top accounting talent (400+ CPAs/CAs globally)
- High flexibility after onboarding — transition to only 1–2 office days per month
- Strong growth environment where ownership and initiative are rewarded
What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead accounting for multiple management company clients
- Own monthly/quarterly reporting, AP, payroll, reconciliations, and financial oversight
- Partner directly with clients and become a trusted point of contact
- Mentor junior staff and oversee accounting workflows
- Support tax compliance, 1099s, budgeting, and special projects
- Collaborate with fund teams on intercompany accounting and operational improvements
Qualifications:
What We’re Looking For
✔️ 4+ years of accounting experience (public or private)
✔️ Strong accounting foundation with the ability to manage multiple priorities and clients
✔️ Experience with QuickBooks and Excel
✔️ Someone who is proactive, client-facing, and can hit the ground running
✔️ Bonus points for alternative investment, PE/VC, or fund exposure
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants more than just month-end close—someone looking to build real exposure, sharpen business acumen, and grow alongside a highly respected platform in the alternative investments space.
