Fund Controller

Our client is a privately held, rapidly evolving investment and operating organization looking for its first dedicated in-house finance leader in Dallas .

This is a unique opportunity for someone who wants more than a traditional Controller role.

You'll establish the accounting foundation for a growing, multi-entity organization while working alongside a highly experienced, globally distributed leadership team.

We're looking for someone who can comfortably move between reviewing investment-related activity and rolling up their sleeves to handle a reconciliation, improve a process or make sure the books are accurate.

What You'll Own

You'll become the go-to finance and accounting resource in the U.S., with responsibility for areas including:

• Accounting and close activities across multiple entities
• General ledger, reconciliations, expenses, credit cards and banking activity
• Financial reporting and GAAP-based financial rollups
• Accounting across investment entities, operating businesses and SPVs
• Intercompany activity and loan tracking
• Cash management, banking relationships and financial controls
• Coordination with external tax, accounting and professional service providers
• Support for investment-related transactions and documentation
• Oversight and coordination with future third-party fund administration
• Finance infrastructure to support continued organizational and investment growth
• Process improvement, automation and thoughtful use of AI within the finance function

What We're Looking For

The right person will bring a strong accounting foundation along with the judgment and independence to operate in a high-trust environment.

We'd especially like to meet candidates with:

• Strong hands-on accounting experience, including GL, reconciliations and close
• Experience working across multiple legal entities
• Solid understanding of GAAP
• Experience with QuickBooks Online or similar accounting platforms
• Strong financial controls and cash-management instincts
• The ability to independently manage recurring deadlines and priorities
• High integrity and discretion when handling confidential financial information
• A practical, low-ego approach to getting things done
• Comfort working with executives and colleagues across different locations and time zones
• Veterans are encouraged to apply!!!!!!!!

Experience with investment entities, SPVs, funds, portfolio companies, venture capital, treasury, multi-currency accounting or cross-border operations would be particularly valuable.

Candidates with military, government-adjacent or other highly regulated industry experience are also encouraged to apply.
