Full job description We are working with a rapidly growing global alternative investment manager to hire an Fund Accountant/Assistant Fund Controller into its London finance team.
The firm manages a range of private and liquid investment strategies, with a particular focus on private credit, special situations and private equity .
This is an excellent opportunity for someone in the earlier stages of their fund-finance career who wants to gain broader exposure within a sophisticated alternative investment platform.
Working closely with the Fund Controller, you will support a portfolio of predominantly open-ended private credit and private equity funds , gaining exposure across the full fund lifecycle rather than operating within a narrow accounting remit.
The role You will be involved in:
*Oversight and review of NAVs and fund accounting produced by third-party administrators
*Investor allocations, subscriptions, redemptions, capital calls and distributions
*Quarterly and annual financial statements and investor reporting
*Fund valuations, including exposure to illiquid private credit and equity investments
*Cash and liquidity management, expense allocations and management-fee calculations
*Liaising with administrators, auditors, tax advisers, legal teams and other service providers
*Supporting investment teams and senior stakeholders with fund and transaction-related analysis
*Reviewing fund activity against LPAs, offering documents and side letters
*Improving controls, reporting and fund-finance processes
*Supporting automation, systems and AI-led initiatives as the finance function continues to evolve
The individual We are looking for someone with a strong grounding in fund accounting, audit or fund financial reporting , ideally gained within an alternative investment manager, Big Four firm or leading fund administrator.
You are likely to have approximately 3–6 years’ relevant experience and could be qualified or part-qualified ACA / ACCA / CA / CPA or equivalent .
Experience of private credit, private equity or another alternative investment strategy would be advantageous, although candidates with strong technical fund-accounting experience who are looking to develop their private-markets exposure will also be considered.
