About this role
Standish Management's fund accounting team in Dallas is looking for someone to step into the operational backbone of their accounting department. You'd prepare financial statements across multiple domestic and offshore fund families, manage complex investment transactions, monitor partnership compliance, and handle the full lifecycle of partner communications—from capital calls to K-1 distributions. The role also pulls you into audit support, tax review, and special projects as needed, so you'll gain exposure to how alternative investment funds actually run.
This is an entry-to-mid-level position suited for someone with one to two years of accounting or finance experience who has solid Excel skills and understands investment accounting fundamentals. You'll need to be organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable juggling multiple fund families and ad hoc partner requests alongside your core responsibilities. A QuickBooks background is a bonus but not required.
The company offers standard benefits including medical, dental, vision, a 401K, and a flexible vacation plan, plus a year-end office closure. The role is in-office in Dallas and emphasizes a flexible work environment across the organization.
