Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Linse Capital is a venture and growth-equity firm backing frontier-technology companies in technically complex sectors such as space, autonomy, energy, and semiconductors. The Accounting Manager will own day-to-day accounting and finance operations across the firm’s funds, GP entities, and management companies, including financial reporting, audits, tax, compliance, investor reporting, and fund operations. The role will also improve systems, processes, and controls across the accounting function.
Responsibilities
- Maintain the general ledger across all entities — entries, coding, accruals, and reconciliations — keeping the books current rather than catching up at period end
- Own accounts payable and bill pay end to end, process expense reports against policy, manage day-to-day cash and banking activity, and provide operational support to the firm’s compliance calendar
- Prepare period-end financial statements for the funds, GP entities, and management companies, including allocations and management fee and expense schedules, and drive the close calendar to completion
- Prepare the annual audited financial statements, draft the accompanying footnotes and disclosures, and drive the audit process to completion
- Prepare quarterly and annual investor reporting, including capital-account statements and the schedules behind them
- Facilitate tax reporting with our outside advisers for the US, Puerto Rico, and Germany: assemble the information they need, review what they prepare, manage the cross-border calendar, and coordinate K-1 delivery
- Provide ad hoc compliance support to the CFO/CCO, and support SEC filing and reporting requirements alongside the legal and compliance teams
- Prepare capital calls — allocations, notices, and schedules — and track funding through to receipt
- Support distributions, including calculations, waterfall allocations, notices, and payment execution
- Handle investor and vendor correspondence directly: answer routine inquiries, triage the finance inbox, escalate what needs the CFO or IR, and keep service-provider workstreams moving
- Find what is manual, fragile, or slower than it should be and fix it. This is an explicit part of the job, not a stretch goal
- Evaluate and implement platforms and tools that add accuracy, speed, and capacity — and document the processes and controls so the improvements outlast you
Skills
- 3–5+ years of progressive accounting experience — at a private equity or venture firm, a fund administrator, or in public accounting
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field
- Demonstrated ownership of a full close or audit completion, with the judgment and skepticism to catch issues before they reach an investor, client or auditor
- High proficiency in Excel and fluency with accounting and back-office systems, plus a bias toward improving process
- Exceptional attention to detail, sound judgment with confidential information, clear written communication with investors and advisers, and comfort owning outcomes on a small, remote team
- Remote (US)
- Occasional travel may be required
- Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States
- Employment is available in states where the firm is registered as an employer
- Exposure to registered investment adviser compliance operations and SEC reporting (for example Form ADV or Form PF support)
- Experience preparing financial statements across related entities — funds, GP or carry vehicles, and management companies — including hands-on preparation of audited financials and footnotes
- A track record selecting or implementing finance and operations systems
- Experience building the accounting function at a small or growing firm
- CPA is a plus but not required
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance: Employer-paid for the employee and eligible dependents, subject to plan terms and eligibility requirements.
