Management Co Accounting Lead – Top VC Firm - Careers at Robert Half
Job Description
About Role
Robert Half is excited to partner with a premier venture capital firm in Palo Alto, California, to find a dynamic Management Co Accounting Lead for their high-impact management company operations. This role, with a flexible title such as Accounting Manager, offers a rare opportunity to join a firm managing several billion in assets, focusing on early-stage, high-growth companies. As a key member of a sharp, solutions-oriented finance team, you'll take ownership of critical accounting functions, drive process efficiencies, and collaborate directly with senior leadership in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.
This position is perfect for seasoned accounting professionals who thrive on high-visibility responsibilities and want to shape the future of in-house accounting at a top-tier VC firm. With competitive compensation starting at $150,000 annually plus bonuses, this full-time role provides the platform to modernize operations and make a tangible impact.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Direct influence on financial processes and systems at a billion-dollar VC firm
- Supportive team culture with strong backing from executive leadership
- Chance to scale accounting functions amid rapid firm growth
- Exposure to innovative investments in high-growth startups
Key Responsibilities
In this pivotal role, you'll oversee end-to-end accounting operations for the management company, ensuring precision, compliance, and efficiency across all functions.
- Financial Reporting Excellence: Lead the preparation of quarterly and annual financial statements, handling complex allocations, reconciliations, and ensuring full GAAP compliance.
- Cash and GL Management: Direct cash activity, payments, distributions, and general ledger maintenance to support seamless operations.
- AP Workflow Leadership: Manage the complete accounts payable cycle, including vendor payments, corporate card reconciliations, intercompany transactions, employee reimbursements, and bank statement reviews.
- Payroll and Benefits Oversight: Administer semi-monthly payroll processes and 401(k) contributions, prioritizing accuracy, regulatory adherence, and positive employee experiences.
- Process Innovation: Identify and implement efficiencies to modernize accounting systems and workflows, collaborating with leadership to scale operations.
Required Qualifications
To succeed, candidates should bring a blend of technical expertise, strategic mindset, and adaptability to this demanding VC environment.
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or equivalent; CPA preferred.
- 5-7+ years of hands-on accounting experience, ideally in venture capital, private equity, or financial services.
- Deep proficiency in GAAP, financial statement preparation, and audit-ready reconciliations.
- Demonstrated leadership in payroll, AP, GL, and cash management functions.
- Strong analytical skills with a keen eye for detail and problem-solving in dynamic settings.
- Experience with ERP systems, QuickBooks, NetSuite, or similar accounting software.
- Excellent interpersonal skills for cross-functional collaboration with executives and teams.
- Proven track record of driving process improvements and operational efficiencies.
Bonus: Familiarity with VC fund accounting, investment structures, or startup ecosystems.
