About this role
Carta's Fund Administration team is expanding in Sydney, and this Senior Fund Accountant role sits at the intersection of financial services and software innovation. You'd work with venture capital and private equity firms to manage their accounting operations—handling capital calls, distributions, audit support, and financial reporting—while helping those clients leverage Carta's platform to access real-time data and performance metrics. The position requires you to balance hands-on accounting work with a broader mandate: consulting with clients on how to adopt Carta's Fund Administration software and feeding insights back to the product and engineering teams to shape the platform's evolution.
This role suits someone with at least three years of closed-end fund accounting experience who understands Limited Partnership Agreements, local Australian fund structures, and the venture capital ecosystem. You'll need strong technical skills in Excel, solid judgment about when to escalate issues, and the ability to communicate clearly across multiple stakeholders under tight deadlines. The team values problem-solving, data security, and consistent delivery, and you'd be expected to mentor junior accountants as part of the role.
The work is fast-paced and collaborative, requiring comfort with constant change and a willingness to adopt new tools—including AI-driven workflows. You'll be in the Sydney office full-time, working alongside product, engineering, and go-to-market teams to help position Carta as the leading Fund Administration provider.
