About the Role

You will be responsible for fund accounting and financial reporting across a diverse range of PE and PD products — from Cayman-domiciled FoF structures to Japan-domiciled commingled funds. Working closely with global finance, investment, and investor relations teams, you will play a critical role in delivering accurate, timely, and high-quality financial operations to both internal and external stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Lead fund accounting, financial reporting, and cash flow management for PE/PD products, ensuring precise and timely reporting across all fund structures.

Serve as a key point of contact for business teams and clients — investigating and resolving inquiries with speed and accuracy.

Support new fund onboarding from a finance perspective, including review of DoT and LPA provisions.

Prepare detailed cash projections for fund liquidity management, and assist with LP-specific reporting, RFP responses, and ad-hoc requests from senior management and portfolio managers.

Oversee the Fund Administrator responsible for the preparation of quarterly financial statements, capital account statements, capital calls, and distribution notices.

Review audited financial statements and footnote disclosures; assist audit and tax professionals in year-end audit and tax reporting.

Review and analyze distribution waterfalls based on fund legal documents, and review partnership and fund IRRs on a quarterly basis.

Review management fee calculations.

Partner with investor relations to address LP questions, and collaborate closely with the Japan Desk and New York finance team.

Contribute to valuation discussions and expense allocation reviews in coordination with portfolio managers and investment teams.

Qualifications:

Required

Minimum 5 years of experience in fund accounting or finance for PE/PD strategies (FoF and commingled) at a domestic or international PE firm or asset manager.

Bachelor's degree or higher
