Tax Accountant

PDT Partners, a quantitative investment manager, seeks an analytical and detail-oriented Tax Accountant to join our Family Office team. This is a great opportunity to hone existing accounting, analysis, and reporting skills, while diving deeply into the financial operations of a global hedge fund.

Reporting to the Head of Tax, the Tax Accountant will work within the Family Office Services group. Responsibilities will include working directly with our Partners on various tax compliance, tax and estate planning, accounting and financial management, cashflow and investment management, and special projects. The hedge fund industry itself is complex, so you’ll also get a lot of exposure to the specialized tax laws we encounter as well as the varied investment products inherent to the industry.

This is a hybrid position and will require the person to work from our New York City office at minimum 3 days a week.

Why join us?

PDT Partners has a 30+ year track record and a reputation for excellence. Our goal is to be the best quantitative investment manager in the world—measured by the quality of our products, not their size. PDT’s very high employee-retention rate speaks for itself. Our people are intellectually extraordinary and our community is close-knit, down-to-earth, and diverse.
