Assist with acquisition and disposition accounting, including closing entries, purchase price allocations, and investment basis tracking. Collaborate with asset management, investor relations, and executive teams on forecasts, budgets, and variance analysis at both the fund and portfolio level. Ensure compliance with fund formation documents (PPMs, LPAs, subscription agreements) and applicable SEC and securities law reporting requirements for private real estate funds. Mentor junior team members by sharing technical knowledge in partnership accounting, waterfall mechanics, and investor reporting best practices.
