Manager, Private Equity Partnership Accounting

We are seeking a Manager, Private Equity Partnership Accounting to join the GP Finance function at a leading global private equity firm. This role is responsible for the accounting, reporting, and administration of General Partner and partnership-related entities, with a particular focus on carried interest allocations, partner capital accounts, and complex partnership structures.

The position is well-suited for a detail-oriented, analytical accounting professional with strong U.S. partnership experience who enjoys working in a dynamic, collaborative environment. This is not a tax-focused role (although tax applicants are encouraged); the emphasis is on partnership accounting, GAAP implications, and operational execution within a sophisticated private equity platform.

Teams work closely across investments, finance, tax, legal, and operations, offering exposure to complex structures and meaningful business initiatives.

• 90% employer-paid healthcare (medical, dental, vision, prescription)
• Generous paid time off and firm holidays

• Review and reconcile partnership books and records, including cash activity and system-to-system reconciliations
• Collaborate cross-functionally with tax, fund accounting, legal, and investment teams to support reporting, compliance, and special projects
• Assist with GAAP-related analysis and consolidation of partnership entities into management company financials
• Contribute to process improvement initiatives, system enhancements, and documentation of workflows and controls
• Participate in ad hoc projects involving new structures, reporting enhancements, and operational initiatives

Qualifications

• Professional accounting experience with U.S. partnerships
• Public accounting background (Big 4 or national firm) preferred; audit experience strongly favored
• Combination of public accounting and in-house private equity, asset management, or fund administration experience is a plus
• Strong understanding of partnership accounting concepts and financial reporting
• CPA preferred (required for candidates with a tax-heavy background)
• Highly detail-oriented with strong analytical and organizational skills
• Collaborative, professional demeanor with the ability to communicate effectively across teams and levels
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment
