Job Description
Decile Group builds the infrastructure that powers venture capital firms. We provide fund administration, compliance, and operational support to hundreds of emerging fund managers across the country. As we scale, we need a senior CPA to own the tax function for our fund clients, from partnership tax preparation and review through K-1 delivery. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You will prepare and review partnership tax returns, coordinate K-1 production and delivery, and serve as the internal expert on fund-level tax questions. If your background is in individual tax, corporate tax, or large-firm compliance work with no exposure to pass-through entities and fund structures, this is not the right fit. If you have spent meaningful time in partnership tax, ideally in the fund administration, private equity, or venture capital space, keep reading. \n What you'll own Prepare and review federal and state partnership tax returns (Form 1065 and related schedules) for venture capital fund clients Manage K-1 production, quality review, and delivery to limited partners Coordinate with fund accountants and external CPAs to gather source data and resolve discrepancies Respond to tax notices and support client inquiries on fund-level tax matters Track filing deadlines across a portfolio of funds and ensure nothing slips Identify and flag technical issues (allocations, Section 704(b), carried interest treatment, PFIC considerations) and escalate appropriately Support process improvements to make the K-1 delivery workflow faster and more accurate at scale
