About this role
Standish Management's Fund Controller role centers on managing the financial operations and reporting for private equity and venture capital clients. You'd work alongside an Engagement Manager to handle fund accounting, investor capital accounts, financial statements, and quarterly reporting to limited partners. The position also involves overseeing audit and tax processes, managing portfolio company financing details, forecasting cash flow, and maintaining investor data in third-party systems—with occasional travel to client sites.
The ideal candidate holds a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, or economics and brings at least two years of public accounting experience. Prior exposure to private equity, venture capital, or partnership accounting is preferred, and a CPA is a plus. Strong Excel proficiency is essential, along with competency in Word and Outlook. This is a full-time, in-office role in Dallas that suits someone ready to move from general accounting into the more specialized world of fund administration.
Standish offers standard benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k), flexible vacation, and disability and parental leave options. The company also provides a year-end office closure and describes its work environment as flexible.
