The Role

We’re seeking an entry-level Fund Accountant to join our growing finance team. This is a hands-on role where you’ll gain exposure to multiple aspects of private equity, trust and estate planning, and taxation. No two days will be the same — you’ll help with everything from processing bills and journal entries to assisting with financial reporting and investment analysis.

This position is ideal for someone who wants to build a foundation in accounting and finance while learning how a family office operates. You’ll work directly with our Senior Accountant and investment professionals, developing an understanding of how money moves through complex investment structures — all while leveraging AI tools to work smarter and accelerate your learning.

What You’ll Do

  • Record and organize incoming mail, payments, and invoices
  • Process bills and manage approvals through Bill.com
  • Prepare and post basic journal entries in NetSuite
  • Assist in month-end close and account reconciliations
  • Support financial reporting for entities and investment vehicles
  • Collaborate with investment, tax, and operations teams
  • Learn to use AI tools to streamline accounting tasks and data analysis
  • Contribute to ad hoc projects across finance, investments, and operations

What You’ll Learn

  • How family offices manage complex investment portfolios
  • The fundamentals of private equity, trusts, and tax strategy
  • Exposure to multiple asset classes — from startups to credit to real estate
  • Cutting-edge tools for accounting automation and financial data management

Who You Are

  • A recent graduate or early-career professional in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or Business
  • Detail-oriented, organized, and eager to learn
  • Tech-savvy and curious about how AI can transform finance
  • Excited to take on new challenges and “figure things out”
  • Comfortable wearing many hats in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

Why Join Skybox

  • Learn constantly. You’ll be exposed to areas of finance most people wait years to access.
  • Work closely with leadership. You’ll get mentorship from experienced accountants and investors.
  • Be part of something growing. Our work is fast-paced and varied — it’s never dull.
