Description

*Visa Sponsorship not offered for this role*

Team Overview

This role sits within a group responsible for financial oversight of a broad range of privately offered alternative investment vehicles. These vehicles span multiple global jurisdictions-including the U.S., Luxembourg, and the Cayman Islands-and cover a variety of structures commonly used in private markets and alternative strategies.

The team oversees day‑to‑day fund accounting results, regulatory obligations, and reporting requirements for these products. In addition, they serve as a central resource to numerous internal departments such as investment teams, legal and compliance, product strategy, marketing, investor communications, sales, and external service providers.

Position Summary

We are looking for a Nashville‑based analyst to join the Private Alternatives Financial Control team. This position is heavily focused on oversight-ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of all outputs associated with assigned pooled investment vehicles.

The analyst will work closely with internal colleagues, investment professionals, external administrators, and auditors. The role involves problem‑solving, reviewing complex fund data, managing deadlines, coordinating with global providers, and contributing to process improvements across the operation.

Key Responsibilities

The Fund Administration Analyst will:

• Review net asset value calculations provided by third‑party administrators and validate accuracy.
• Assist with annual audit processes, including resolving questions, coordinating deliverables, and reviewing draft financial statements.
• Support tax‑related and regulatory reporting specific to each jurisdiction.
• Track deadlines and ensure all deliverables are completed on schedule.
• Investigate operational issues, escalate when needed, and document resolutions.
• Respond promptly to internal and external requests for information.
• Communicate and collaborate with teammates and partners across the business.
• Contribute to documenting workflows, training, and enhancement initiatives.
• Support special projects such as fund launches, liquidations, and data analysis requests.
• Understand the fund's trial balance, including income, expenses, incentive/management fees, derivatives, FX impacts, and distribution activity.
• Monitor adherence to applicable regulatory bodies and jurisdictional rules.

What Makes This Role Distinctive

Because the team oversees private alternative vehicles, analysts are exposed to a broad spectrum of investment structures, accounting complexities, and global processes. The oversight nature of the role means more analytical work and deeper involvement in problem resolution than in a typical fund accounting "production" setup.

Professional Development

This role offers strong developmental opportunities, including:

• Applying accounting knowledge in a more analytical, review‑oriented environment.
• Gaining exposure to diverse private market strategies and structures.
• Working with stakeholders across multiple functional areas.
• Opportunities for internal mobility-the team emphasizes promoting talent from within.

Qualifications

Experience & Education

• At least 3 years of fund accounting, private equity/hedge fund administration, or related financial services experience.
• Bachelor's degree in business, finance, accounting, or a similar discipline.
• Experience at a fund administrator or audit firm is advantageous.

Skills & Competencies

• Solid understanding of accounting principles, ideally with exposure to investment valuations.
• Strong analytical ability, problem‑solving skills, and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.
• Proficiency with common office applications (Excel, Outlook, Word); advanced Excel abilities (e.g., macros) are a plus.
• Knowledge of financial reporting, tax concepts, and regulatory frameworks is helpful.
• Prior involvement in process improvement or workflow optimization is preferred.
