About this role
Standish Management administers funds across private equity, venture capital, real estate, and fund-of-funds strategies, and this role sits at the center of that operation. As a Senior Associate in Fund Accounting, you'd handle the financial reporting and compliance work that keeps multiple fund families running smoothly—preparing financial statements, tracking portfolio performance, managing capital calls, and ensuring adherence to partnership agreements. You'd work with both domestic and offshore structures, interact directly with limited partners, and support audits, tax processes, and fundraising activities alongside your core accounting responsibilities.
The position calls for someone with a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance and one to two years of full-time accounting experience. You'll need strong Excel skills, solid knowledge of investment accounting concepts, and the kind of attention to detail that matters when managing complex transactions and partnership documentation. QuickBooks experience is a bonus but not required. The role is based in San Francisco and requires in-office presence, reporting to one of the accounting managers.
Standish offers standard benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401k, disability and parental leave plans, and a flexible vacation policy. The salary is $75,000, with actual compensation adjusted based on your specific skills and background.
