This is a rare opportunity to gain exposure to every part of the venture capital business. Most VC finance roles keep people in one area: back office accounting, or operations, or fund reporting. This role spans all three, and because our team works directly alongside active fund managers, you will also develop real familiarity with how deals are evaluated and how investment decisions get made. If you are intellectually curious about how the VC business works at every level and bring the attention to detail that fund accounting demands, this role was built for you.
We are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Venture Services Associate with at least one year of experience in fund accounting or related financial services. In this role, you will work closely with a portfolio of venture capital firms to support fund operations, financial reporting, and investor relations. You will play a key role in reviewing fund financials, coordinating with fund administrators and auditors, and helping ensure our clients' financial and investor reporting needs are met with accuracy and timeliness. The ideal candidate will bring strong accounting knowledge, a proactive mindset, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, client-facing environment.
