I'm delighted to be partnering with a growing Private Markets firm to hire a Finance Manager into its London-based finance team.
This is a broad, hands-on role working across both the management company and investment funds, with significant exposure to the investment team and Partners. The remit combines management accounting, FP&A, fund modelling and finance transformation/automation, suited to an AI literate and commercially minded professional with previous experience in a private markets fund.
Key responsibilities:
- Oversight of monthly management accounts across multiple entities - the day to day work is outsourced and your role will be to oversee the final production and analysis
- Accruals, intercompany accounting and balance sheet reconciliations
- Payment runs, invoicing, expenses and payroll accounting support
- Fund expense recharges and liaison with third-party administrators
- Supporting annual statutory audits and regulatory/tax filings
- Ownership of annual budgets, reforecasts and rolling cash flow forecasts
- Management information, KPI reporting and scenario analysis
- Building and maintaining fund models, including management fees, carry calculations, capital calls and distributions
- Supporting fund-level forecasting and liquidity monitoring
- Developing and improving AI-assisted finance processes and automation (Claude)
- Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency across the wider finance function
The ideal candidate:
- Qualified ACA/CA, ACCA or CIMA - likely around the 2 to 5 years PQE mark or equivalent
- Strong management accounting and FP&A experience gained working in a private markets fund (essential) or potentially mainstream asset/wealth management
- Strong Excel and financial modelling skills
- Genuine hands-on experience using AI/LLM tools within finance
- Commercial, proactive and comfortable taking ownership of a broad remit
- Able to operate effectively within a small, fast-moving and entrepreneurial team
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to communicate confidently with senior stakeholders
This is a particularly interesting opportunity for someone looking to join a sophisticated investment business where the finance team is highly integrated into the firm, sitting hand in glove with the investment team.
Salary on offer is £85-95k base plus benefits and bonus.
