I am delighted to be partnering with a high growth Private Markets fund, looking to appoint a Senior Fund Accountant into a pivotal senior and commercial role. This impressive and slick outfit is lead by some very well known industry veterans, having launched and raised multiple funds in a relatively short amount of time.
This broad role will encompass all aspects of fund accounting oversight, deal support and valuations, but more importantly will be part of a small and collegiate team with day to day exposure to the investment team and pipeline of deals.
Responsibilities:
- Liaise and manage the relationship with the fund administrators, including supporting the quarterly fund accounting process
- Work with the investment team to ensure the quarterly valuation packs are updated and accurate
- Support the investment team in the settlement of trade activity/investments and other transaction related matters
- Manage the year end audit process for the Funds and manage the fund administrators in preparing the required information for annual audits
- Assist with the quarterly investor report process, including the review of carried interest calculations
- Oversee and support the collation of documents for the Quarterly GP board meetings
- Mange the relationship with the Funds depository and support them in their activities
- Assist the fund administrators with preparing capital call/distribution notices, notification letters and any other LP communications
- Oversee the preparation and calculation of the quarterly management fees
- Oversee the periodic and annual tax reporting filings for the various companies within the Fund structures
- Support the CFO with wider tax compliance and reporting matters at the Fund
- Assistance with dealing with investor queries
- Support the implementation of new in-house systems and procedures
- Various ad-hoc tasks
Your background:
- Degree educated with excellent academics and formal accounting qualifications - ACA, CA, ACCA or equivalent
- Previous experience in a fund accounting environment for closed end fund structures, gained either in-house or in a fund admin firm - practical experience is essential and this role isn't aimed at someone making a first move out of Audit
- Excellent communication skills, high energy presence, go-getter mentality, strong work ethic
- Willingness to learn and work outside of comfort zone (i.e. new projects outside of experience/skill set)
- Maturity and gravitas to liaise with senior management and Partners in day-to-day interactions
- Comfortable working as part of a small Finance team, coming up with ideas and helping grow out the team and its capabilities
Salary on offer is in the region of £80-90,000 base plus benefits and high bonus potential.
