The Fund Controller will take ownership of financial reporting, NAV production and investor reporting across the firm's credit fund structures. This is a hands-on technically demanding role suited to a qualified accountant with strong private credit or direct lending fund experience, who can operate independently while partnering closely with Investor Relation the Investment team, and external service providers.
- Own the quarterly and annual NAV production process for one or more credit fund vehicles, including review of valuations, accruals, fee calculations and waterfall/carry mechanics.
- Prepare and review fund-level and SPV-level financial statements under IFRS and/or Lux GAAP, coordinating with local administrators and accountants across relevant jurisdictions.
- Manage the capital call and distribution process, including supporting calculations, investor notices and cash movement instructions.
- Produce quarterly investor reporting packs, including performance metrics (IRR, MOIC, DPI, TVPI), portfolio commentary and compliance with LPA/side letter reporting requirements.
- Monitor fund-level and portfolio company debt facilities, including covenant compliance, borrowing base calculations and liaison with lenders where required.
- Own the relationship with third-party fund administrators, auditors and tax advisors, ensuring service levels are met and costs are controlled.
- Lead or support the year-end audit process across fund entities, acting as the primary point of contact for external auditors.
- Support fundraising activity, including DDQ responses, data room preparation and ad hoc investor queries.
- Assist with the onboarding of new fund structures, credit facilities or SPVs, including input into fund documentation and operational set-up.
- ACA or ACCA qualified (or equivalent), with a first-time-pass record preferred.
- 3+ years' post-qualification experience in fund finance, ideally within private credit, direct lending, or a related alternative credit strategy (CLOs, asset-backed finance, or real estate debt also considered).
- Strong technical grounding in fund accounting concepts: NAV calculation, capital calls/distributions, waterfall and carried interest mechanics, and fund-level debt facilities (subscription lines, NAV facilities).
- Experience working with institutional LPs and producing investor-facing reporting to a high standard.
- Comfortable managing multiple external stakeholders (administrators, auditors, tax advisors, lenders) and holding them to service standards.
