Job Description

Senior Fund Controller – Client-Facing

VC Lab

• Serve as a trusted financial leader within the company that is evolving from a services-heavy model to a technology-enabled platform. • Serve as the primary accounting authority for complex venture fund structures while elevating the systems, standards, and controls that enable our platform to scale. • Work directly with General Partners, navigate technical escalations with confidence, and bring clarity to complex matters such as waterfalls, carry accruals, side letters, and multi-entity structures. • Help shape the financial operating framework of the organization, mentor and elevate fund accounting team members, and partner closely with Compliance, Treasury, and Product to strengthen automation and reduce operational fragility. • Improve workflows, standardize complex processes, and contribute to a platform that integrates accounting, compliance, and technology.

Job Requirements

  • 7–10+ years in fund accounting or fund administration, with meaningful exposure to venture capital or private equity fund structures and full lifecycle workflows.
  • Demonstrated experience working with European and American waterfalls, capital calls and distributions, carry modeling, clawbacks, side letters, and ASC 820 fair value considerations. Strong familiarity with LPAs and their accounting implications.
  • Proven experience making and defending accounting judgment calls in complex, multi-fund environments. Ability to operate confidently in edge cases where clear precedent may not exist.
  • Experience interfacing directly with General Partners, CFOs, or fund principals. Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain accounting concepts to non-accountants and defend positions when challenged.
  • Experience reviewing and elevating the work of other accountants. Ability to lead through clarity, collaboration, and consistency while holding a high bar for accuracy.
  • Experience partnering with Product, Engineering, or Operations teams to translate accounting requirements into scalable systems, workflows, or tooling.
  • Comfort operating in a remote, fast-moving, and evolving organization without excessive structure or oversight.

Benefits

  • Meaningful impact through building infrastructure that expands access to venture capital globally
  • Opportunity for career growth and role expansion as the platform scales
  • Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
  • Remote-first work environment with thoughtful, high-caliber teammates
  • A working schedule for adults, including flexible hours and flexible PTO

• This role has variety at its core. From facilitating client meetings to overseeing monthly and yearly financial closes, no day will be a typical day. • You will be supporting our startup clients who need Controller expertise at their growth stage (usually we work with Seed through Series C clients). So, there is always a lot of work to be done! • You’ll be working with a variety of clients, so the ability to context shift, communicate, prioritize, and evaluate needs is the most important thing you’ll be doing in this role. • You’ll be managing accountants and processes for our clients and possibly internally to Burkland, too, so you’ll want to have a background in management. • Embracing the agile and scrappy nature of startups is a must.
