About Us

Petra Funds Group is a single-source provider for fund administration and infrastructure needs for private equity and debt funds. At Petra, we enable fund managers to focus on the tasks that add the most value to their businesses and leave the rest to us.

Petra is made up of highly experienced professionals across the US and Europe. In a business where accuracy and timeliness are paramount, having a deep bench who've spent years working with asset managers is what differentiates us.

Our foundation is built on trust, experience, and uncompromising accuracy. Our people are experts. We work collaboratively. We are relentless in our process and put attention to detail first.

This is a hands-on Accounting Manager role supporting a venture capital investment manager and affiliated entities. The hire will be a key right-hand to the CFO and own much of the day-to-day accounting operations across the management company, funds, and portfolio companies.
 
The role is heavily operational/accounting-focused rather than investment-focused. The client likely needs someone who is detail-oriented, adaptable, comfortable wearing multiple hats, and able to work in a lean finance environment with evolving processes.
What You Will Do:
  • Prepare and review journal entries related to cash activity and other key transactions to support an accurate and efficient month-end close process, as well as internal and external reporting requirements.
  • Leverage Concur to manage accounts payable operations, ensuring invoices are properly documented, approved, and accurately coded to the appropriate accounts and projects prior to payment processing.
  • Support general ledger maintenance through account cleanup, reconciliations, and preparation of detailed supporting schedules for monthly financial reporting.
  • Assist with monthly intercompany billing processes and Accounts Receivable invoicing to ensure timely and accurate transactions across entities.
  • Partner with auditors and external tax advisors by providing requested documentation and financial support related to annual audits and tax return preparation, in coordination with the CFO.
  • Review and process employee corporate credit card activity, ensuring compliance with company policies and accurate expense reporting.
  • Contribute to Chapter 11 reporting requirements and support ad hoc financial requests related to entities undergoing restructuring proceedings.
  • Prepare and manage annual 1099 reporting to ensure timely and compliant tax filing obligations.

Qualifications

  • 5–7 years of accounting experience
  • Strong general ledger and month-end close experience
  • AP/accounting operations experience
  • Experience with reconciliations and supporting schedules
  • Experience supporting audits and tax prep
  • Multi-entity accounting exposure
  • Strong Excel skills
  • Detail-oriented and process-driven
  • Ability to work directly with senior leadership/CFO

Salary Range
At Petra Funds Group, we are committed to transparency and equity in our hiring practices. The compensation range for this position is $102,000 - $153,000 per year. This range represents the base salary only. Actual pay will depend on factors such as qualifications, experience, and skills.
