Accounting Manager

Location: Annapolis, MD (Hybrid – 2 days onsite)

Are you an experienced accounting professional looking to step into a high-impact role with leadership exposure, strong mentorship, and a clear path to Controller? A growing, well-capitalized organization in Annapolis is seeking an Accounting Manager to join their team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone coming out of a public + private accounting background, ideally with experience in private equity and/or real estate, who wants to take ownership of key financial processes and lead a small team.

What You'll Do
  • Lead and manage the monthly close process, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
  • Prepare and review investor reporting, working closely with internal stakeholders
  • Support accounting and reporting for open-ended funds
  • Supervise and mentor a team of 3 direct reports
  • Partner with leadership, including a highly supportive and experienced CFO
  • Identify process improvements and drive efficiencies across accounting operations
What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance (CPA strongly preferred)
  • Public + private accounting experience highly preferred
  • Exposure to private equity and/or real estate industries
  • Prior supervisory or team lead experience
  • Strong understanding of fund accounting, reporting, and close processes
  • A proactive, detail-oriented mindset with strong communication skills
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Compensation up to $130K + 20% bonus
  • 100% employer-paid medical benefits (employee + family)
  • Excellent work-life balance
  • Collaborative, positive culture with strong leadership
  • Clear path to Controller
  • Work directly with a supportive and engaged CFO
  • Hybrid schedule (2 days per week in office)

If you're looking for a role where you can grow, lead, and make a meaningful impact while maintaining balance, this is a strong opportunity to take the next step in your career.
