Fund Accounting Internship

Standish Management administers private equity, venture capital, real estate, and fund-of-funds operations for GPs at various stages, from newly launching funds to established multi-fund families. This internship offers direct exposure to that world through hands-on fund accounting and partnership administration work during summer 2027.

You'd support Associates and Fund Controllers by handling financial statement schedules, client data entry, filing systems, and systems conversion projects for new and existing clients. The work involves analyzing financial documents to catch discrepancies, assisting audit and tax teams, and managing data in recordkeeping systems—practical exposure to the operational backbone of private equity fund management. The role demands strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills, basic accounting and finance knowledge, careful attention to detail, and the ability to juggle multiple priorities under deadline pressure while working both independently and as part of a team.

This suits someone serious about understanding fund administration and private capital markets from the ground up, with solid organizational skills and a track record of accuracy in detail-oriented work. The position pays $27 per hour.
