Decile Capital deploys capital into emerging managers. Together, these offerings make venture capital more accessible to anyone with world-class ideas and execution.

Role Overview

The Fund Controller is accountable for the correctness, consistency, and integrity of fund accounting across Decile’s supported venture funds. This role owns accounting judgment, standards, and escalation, ensuring that financial outputs are accurate, defensible, and applied consistently across fund structures.

This position offers deep exposure to venture fund operations at scale, working closely with senior fund accountants, treasury and compliance partners, and external audit and tax providers.

  • Partner with audit and tax providers to support clean, predictable reviews
  • Guide Senior Fund Accountants in applying standards and resolving complex issues
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to inform the design of accounting workflows, controls, and automation
  • Help identify patterns and recurring complexity that should be addressed through tooling rather than manual intervention

  • Core Requirements
  • 7–10+ years of experience in fund accounting or fund administration
  • Deep understanding of venture capital or private equity fund structures and fund administration workflows

  • Familiarity with Limited Partnership Agreements (LPAs) and their accounting implications
  • Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, especially in ambiguous or edge-case scenarios
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain accounting concepts to non-accountants
  • Ability to lead through clarity, collaboration, and consistency
  • Comfort operating in a remote, fast-moving, and evolving organization

  • Nice to Have
  • Prior experience working in venture capital or with venture funds at scale
  • Exposure to building or improving accounting systems, platforms, or internal tools
  • Prior audit or public accounting background

  • What We Offer
  • Meaningful impact through building infrastructure that expands access to venture capital globally
  • Opportunity for career growth and role expansion as the platform scales
  • Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
