Fund Accountant Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a fund accountant in New York?
A bachelor's degree in accounting or finance is the standard starting point for fund accountants in New York. While New York does not require a state-issued license specific to fund accounting, most employers and career advancement paths favor candidates who hold or are pursuing a CPA through the New York State Board for Public Accountancy. Gaining experience at a fund administrator, prime broker, or asset manager in the New York area is the most direct path into the role.
How much do fund accountants make in New York?
Fund accountants in New York earn a median of about $102,640 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $63,700 for the lowest 10% to over $171,030 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire fund accountants in New York?
Employers hiring fund accountants in New York right now include SS&C, IQ-EQ, and BNY, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. New York's concentration of hedge funds, private equity firms, and global asset managers makes it one of the deepest markets in the country for this role at all experience levels.
Which New York cities have the most fund accountant jobs?
New York, Manhattan, and Garden City have the most fund accountant openings in New York. New York City accounts for the large majority of demand given its concentration of global asset managers, hedge funds, and prime brokerage operations, while White Plains and other Westchester locations attract openings from firms that maintain suburban back-office and fund administration centers within commuting distance of the city.

Yes, and more than many finance roles. About 79% of fund accountant openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the desk-based and analytical nature of the work. NAV reconciliation, investor reporting, and financial statement preparation are the sub-functions most commonly offered on a remote or hybrid basis by New York employers.
How can I get hired as a fund accountant in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a fund administration associate or junior fund accountant role at one of the large third-party administrators with New York offices, such as State Street, SS&C Technologies, or Citco. Many of these firms run structured new-graduate programs designed for candidates with accounting or finance degrees and no direct fund experience. Lateral moves from public accounting or bank reconciliation roles are also common entry points, and actively pursuing the CPA through the New York State Board for Public Accountancy gives candidates a clear edge in a competitive applicant pool.
