Fund Accountant

Looking for a fully remote accounting role with great benefits and challenging work, without the grueling schedule of Tax or Audit? Do you thrive in a small team, where you are a name and not a number? Verivest might be your next move.

The Role

As a Fund Accountant at Verivest, you will own full-cycle fund accounting and investor reporting for a portfolio of real estate investment clients, from transaction-level work through GAAP-compliant financial statements, investor reporting, and audit support. You'll be the primary point of contact for your clients, partnering with them to provide clarity on complex accounting questions and ensuring their reporting goes out on time each close. In practice, that means your days are a mix of cash entry and reconciliation, financial statement preparation, maintaining investor records, preparing capital call and investor distributions, coordinating with clients on open items, and working through the details across a variety of asset strategies, from mortgage pools to fund of funds.

Our team is fully remote and high trust. You'll bring your own judgment to problems that don't always have a defined playbook, and your clients will rely on you to communicate proactively and follow through. If you've built your skills in a fast-moving, client-facing environment, think public accounting, outsourced accounting work, or a firm where you wore a lot of hats, you'll recognize this kind of work, love it and know how to thrive in it. Verivest is a place where strong performers are noticed, where your client relationships are genuinely yours, and where the variety of work keeps things interesting. We're small enough that your contributions matter and established enough that you'll have the support and structure to do your best work.
