Fund Accounting Manager

Base Power Company • Austin, TX

4d • Onsite

About The Position

Base is seeking a Fund Accounting Manager to build and own the fund accounting function for its tax equity partnerships. This role involves establishing the accounting infrastructure, including the chart of accounts, close process, and reconciliations, and then managing these processes as the company scales. The position requires close collaboration with asset management, capital markets, and corporate accounting teams. As Base expands its tax equity funds and other structured-finance vehicles, the scope of this role will grow accordingly.

Requirements

• 3–6+ years in fund accounting, partnership accounting, or tax equity accounting — at a fund administrator, sponsor or developer, bank, or accounting firm.
• Working knowledge of partnership accounting mechanics: capital accounts, HLBV, income and loss allocations, and waterfall structures.
• Comfort owning a monthly close process end to end, with no one behind you to catch mistakes.
• Experience preparing for or supporting an audit: schedules, reconciliations, and answering auditor questions directly.
• Excel fluency, plus comfort with or willingness to learn NetSuite and BigQuery.
• Ability to build a process where none exists — you're as comfortable writing the SOP as following one.

Nice To Haves

• Tax equity or renewable energy experience is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Own all fund-level accounting and financial reporting for Base's tax equity funds, including capital account maintenance, HLBV calculations, income and loss allocations, and distribution waterfall accounting.
• Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process for each fund, ensuring accurate financial results and reconciliation between fund-level records and corporate accounting in NetSuite.
• Prepare and maintain audit-ready accounting support, including K-1 schedules, capital account statements, financial statement workpapers, and responses to auditor and investor inquiries.
• Design and implement the fund accounting infrastructure, including the chart of accounts, close procedures, reconciliation frameworks, accounting policies, and internal controls to support scalability and audit compliance.
• Account for and reconcile capital activity, fundings, distributions, management fees, and other fund transactions, ensuring alignment between financial models and the general ledger.
• Partner with asset management, capital markets, and tax counsel as new tax equity funds are structured, so accounting requirements are built in from day one, not retrofitted after close.
• Flag where manual processes should become automated as fund count and complexity grow.
