Alterna Search is partnered with a growing private equity investment firm looking to appoint a Management Accountant into its lean, high-performing finance team.
Following the successful raise of its latest fund, the business is actively deploying capital into new investments, whilst also managing a mature portfolio of existing investments, with signifcant exits expected by year-end. This is an exciting opportunity to join the business at an important stage of its growth, with exposure to both ongoing investment activity and the realisation of mature assets.
This is a hands-on, broad finance role within a lean private equity finance team, with responsibility across the firm's corporate entities and investment portfolio. The role would be particularly well suited to a mid-tier practice accountant looking to make their first move into private equity. Working closely with the investment team and wider business, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to build a strong understanding of how a private equity firm operates and play an important role within a growing finance function.
Responsibilities (not limited to):
- Day-to-day bookkeeping and accounting across multiple entities
- Preparation of monthly management accounts and financial reporting
- VAT, UK compliance and balance sheet reconciliations
- Supporting year-end accounts and liaising with external advisers
- Cash flow management and payments
- Supporting the wider finance team with ad hoc analysis and projects
- Improving and developing finance processes as the business grows
Background
We are seeking a strong ACA/ACCA qualified accountant with 0-3 years PQE, likely from a mid-tier practice background, with experience working across a portfolio of clients/entities in accounts preparation, management accounts and/or bookkeeping. Most importantly, the successful appointee will be comfortable working in a small team where a hands-on, proactive approach is essential.
Further Information
- London office-based
- Attractive compensation package, including inclusion in carry and co-invest schemes
