• Join Securitize, a pioneering force in the digital asset revolution, as our next Manager, Fund Accounting for Hedge Fund and Alternative Investments. In this pivotal role, you will be instrumental in shaping the financial operations of our rapidly expanding tokenized fund offerings, working at the forefront of innovation where traditional finance meets blockchain technology. Securitize is not just a company; it's a movement bringing the world on-chain, backed by significant AUM and partnerships with industry titans like Apollo, BlackRock, Hamilton Lane, and KKR. As a fully regulated entity, encompassing SEC-registered broker-dealer, digital transfer agent, fund administrator, and operator of a SEC-regulated Alternative Trading System (ATS), we offer a unique and secure environment to build your career.
• As the Manager, Fund Accounting, you will oversee the intricate accounting and financial reporting processes for a diverse portfolio of hedge funds and alternative investment vehicles. This includes ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of all financial data, from daily NAV calculations to complex performance reporting. You will be responsible for managing the month-end and year-end close processes, reconciling fund assets and liabilities, and preparing financial statements in accordance with relevant accounting standards (e.g., US GAAP, IFRS). Your expertise will be crucial in navigating the unique complexities of alternative investments, including illiquid assets, derivatives, and private equity structures.
• A significant aspect of your role will involve the calculation and verification of Net Asset Value (NAV) for various fund structures. This requires a deep understanding of valuation methodologies, capital calls, distributions, and investor allocations. You will work closely with internal teams, including portfolio management, operations, and compliance, as well as external auditors and custodians, to ensure seamless financial operations and accurate reporting. Your ability to identify and resolve discrepancies, implement robust internal controls, and drive process improvements will be paramount to maintaining the integrity of our financial operations.
• You will also play a key role in the development and implementation of accounting policies and procedures, ensuring they are aligned with industry best practices and regulatory requirements. This includes staying abreast of evolving accounting standards and their impact on our tokenized fund products. Furthermore, you will be responsible for managing and mentoring a team of fund accountants, fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration, and continuous learning. Your leadership will guide the team in handling day-to-day accounting tasks, complex problem-solving, and professional development.
• The integration of blockchain technology into our fund structures presents unique opportunities and challenges. You will be at the forefront of understanding and accounting for tokenized assets, digital securities, and the underlying smart contract functionalities that govern them. This involves collaborating with our technology and product teams to ensure our accounting systems and processes can effectively capture and report on these novel financial instruments. Your insights will be invaluable in developing innovative accounting solutions that are both compliant and efficient in this new digital frontier.
• Beyond day-to-day operations, you will contribute to strategic initiatives, including the onboarding of new funds, the enhancement of our accounting technology stack, and the streamlining of workflows to support our aggressive growth trajectory. You will be a key point of contact for investor inquiries related to fund accounting, providing clear and concise explanations of financial performance and methodologies. Your proactive approach to communication and problem-solving will be essential in building and maintaining strong relationships with our investors and partners.
• This role demands a meticulous attention to detail, a strong analytical mindset, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. You will be empowered to make a tangible impact, driving efficiency, accuracy, and innovation within Securitize's fund accounting operations. If you are passionate about the future of finance, possess a deep understanding of fund accounting principles, and are eager to work with cutting-edge technology, this is an unparalleled opportunity to advance your career.
