Financial Accountant

Equifind is supporting a global private equity investor with the hire of a Financial Accountant for their London office, based in the City. The team works from the office Monday to Thursday, with the option to work from home on Fridays. The firm manages several billion dollars of assets and is preparing to launch its latest, and what will be their largest, fund to date.
