Seeing a ton of recruiters and posts for fund accounting jobs & have a few questions.
1) How are these jobs from a wlb perspective? Is it just like any other industry job with busy month/ q/ year ends?
2) I tend to see large bonus opportunities for these jobs, what metrics are the bonuses usually based off?
3) What type of exit opps does the role of fund accountant offer?
Thanks so much!!

Q end is always busy, monthly closing is also relatively crazy for 3-5 days. WLB depends on your manager, some are more organized and some are sociopaths.

Fund accounting is kind of a niche. Nothing is really similar to it but you can make a butt load of money. I was just working on a director role that was like 250k + 40% bonus.
It’s a busy job. Like usually 50hrs a week avg

Additional Posts in Accounting Exit Opportunities

Does anyone have any insight into accounting roles at Amazon, particularly in the Arlington/DC area? An Amazon recruiter reached out about accounting roles, but the posts in this bowl are about Seattle. Trying to decide if the culture/wlb/pay is even worth looking into since it sounds like the interview process is intense. Base pay seemed pretty low in other posts, but they were a year old and for Seattle.
