Senior Finance Associate

We are hiring a Senior Finance Associate to handle the execution layer of venture fund accounting and investor relations finance — freeing the VP of Finance and the Frontier team from high-volume, recurring operational work. This person will be the first-line owner of audit coordination, fund administrator liaison, distribution logistics, LP finance inquiries, and data maintenance for the firm’s live AUM & Transfer tracking systems. The right candidate is a detail-oriented finance professional with 2–4 years of fund accounting or audit experience who wants to build deep VC fund operations expertise at a fast-moving firm.

Role Details

• Reports to: VP of Finance
• Location: Denver, CO (5 Days In-Office)
• Compensation: Base $80,000–$110,000 | Strong performance-based bonus | Comprehensive benefits

Core Responsibilities

• Audit coordination and execution. Primary point of contact for all audit confirmation requests (Deloitte and Baker Tilly) — tracking incoming requests, routing to correct counterparties, following up, and logging responses. Maintain the audit open-item tracker visible to CFO weekly. Organize and execute DocuSign workflows for rep letters and engagement letters. Coordinate FS comment cycles between the firm and auditors.
• Fund administrator liaison (Frontier / SS&C). First-line daily contact with Frontier and SS&C for PCAP reviews, portal uploads, NAV workbook questions, and open-item resolution. Prepare VP of Finance review packages by flagging exceptions in draft FS and capital account statements before sign-off. Track all deliverables against agreed timelines.
• Capital calls and distribution support. Prepare and track capital call notices and wire logistics in coordination with Frontier and treasury. Manage in-kind distribution workflows (Carta, custodian onboarding, investor wire instructions). Draft wire requests for JPMorgan and maintain distribution tracking log by entity and LP.
• LP finance and IR support. First-line response to LP finance inquiries — capital account statements, K-1 delivery questions, distribution status, NAV questions, and carry calculations. Escalate complex or sensitive questions to the VP of Finance; own all standard data pulls and document delivery. Coordinate with the IR team on any investor-facing finance materials.
• AUM Tracker and Transfer Log maintenance. Execute the weekly data refresh of the Master AUM & Carry Tracker — inputting Frontier outputs, bank balances, and portfolio updates under direction from VP of Finance. Maintain the Internal Transfer Log by tagging every money movement with its economic impact; reconcile monthly to bank and Frontier records.
• Venture accounting support. Support VP of Finance on SPV and fund-level partnership accounting tasks: preparing capital account schedules, tracking PCAP inputs from sub-advisors, assisting with quarterly valuation workbook updates, and maintaining K-1 delivery logs.
• Process and documentation. Own the finance operations playbooks — document repeatable workflows (audit confirmations, distribution checklists, wire procedures, LP data request templates) to create institutional memory and enable the team to scale.
• Ad hoc finance operations. Support CFO and VP of Finance on time-sensitive projects including lender compliance packages, CIMA filings, FATCA/CRS reporting coordination, and new fund launch logistics.

Key Deliverables

• Audit Confirmation Tracker: all Deloitte and Baker Tilly requests logged, routed, and resolved with zero follow-up falling through the cracks
• Distribution & Wire Log: every capital call and distribution wire prepared and tracked from notice to settlement
• LP Finance Response SLA: all standard LP finance inquiries acknowledged within 24 hours and resolved within 48–72 hours
• Weekly AUM Tracker refresh: Frontier outputs and bank data entered and reconciled by each Monday
• Finance ops playbooks: documented SOPs for all recurring workflows within 90 days of start

Required Experience

• 2–4 years in fund accounting, public audit (Big-4 or mid-tier), or fund operations at a private equity, venture capital, or growth-equity firm
• Familiarity with partnership accounting concepts — capital accounts, NAV, capital calls, distributions, K-1s
• Experience working with a third-party fund administrator (SS&C, Citco, Frontier, or comparable) is a strong plus
• Detail-oriented with strong Excel skills; comfortable building and maintaining multi-entity trackers and reconciliations
• Clear written communication — this role interfaces directly with LPs, auditors, and external counsel
• CPA candidate or CPA preferred; Big-4 audit background a plus
• Familiarity with Carta, DocuSign, Ramp, and JPMorgan online banking a plus
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment with weekend availability during audit and quarter-end periods

This role is designed to take execution-level finance work off the VP of Finance and the Frontier/SS&C team — and to ensure no LP question, audit request, or distribution task falls through the cracks. The right person will grow into the VP of Finance role over time.
