About the job

Investment Accounting Manager Salary: $135,000–$145,000 Hybrid work model – 3 days onsite in New Haven County

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Lead financial reporting for a world-class endowment’s investment and operating assets — work that sits at the center of one of the largest, most sophisticated portfolios in the country

Step into management with two established, tenured direct reports already in place — not a build-from-scratch team

Specialize in private equity and limited partnership fund accounting rather than routine marketable securities work

Join a team that just modernized onto a cloud-based accounting system — bring fresh reporting capability to a function that’s actively investing in better tools

Get your own office in a brand-new, modern workspace

Work within the university’s Controller’s Office, with a clear line of sight into broader university finance career paths

Be the person who represents the team and brings energy to a group that wants a stronger external-facing voice

University employer stability paired with real technical accounting challenge — not a stagnant back-office role

Key Responsibilities

Own accounting policy development and reporting for the university’s investment portfolio, ensuring alignment with GAAP and applicable regulatory/tax requirements

Analyze complex investment transactions, including private equity and LP fund structures, and determine appropriate accounting treatment

Oversee monthly, quarterly, and annual investment reporting schedules and the year-end close process

Coordinate directly with external auditors and manage investment-related financial statement disclosures

Manage and develop two direct reports

Qualifications

CPA required

Financial reporting experience with meaningful exposure to private equity and limited partnership fund investments

Comfortable coordinating audits and confidently pushing back when disclosure requests aren’t appropriate

Prior university or higher-ed environment experience a plus, not required
