We are working with an established private markets investment manager looking to appoint an experienced Fund Controller for a 12 month fixed term contract.
This is a broad, hands on role within a well established fund finance team, with responsibility across a number of active institutional funds and investment structures. The successful candidate will take ownership of core fund accounting, reporting and control, while working closely with the investment team, senior finance leadership and external service providers.
There is good variety across the portfolio, with exposure to multiple funds at different stages of their lifecycle rather than responsibility for a single vehicle. Alongside the recurring fund finance work, there will also be involvement in transactions, new investments, fund activity and other ad hoc projects, giving the role considerably more breadth than a traditional reporting focused Fund Controller position.
The remit will cover oversight of NAVs and fund accounting, statutory and investor reporting, capital calls and distributions, cash and liquidity, management fees, fund expenses, audit and administrator oversight. You will also support transaction activity and work across new and existing fund structures as required.
We are looking for a qualified accountant, ideally around five years post qualified, with current or recent experience working directly within an investment manager or fund environment.
The underlying asset class is less important than strong fund accounting fundamentals, ownership of reporting and controls, and the ability to operate confidently across a complex fund structure.
Candidates from across private equity, real estate, infrastructure, private credit and other alternative investment strategies will all be considered.
This is a 12 month FTC paying £90,000–£100,000, depending on experience.
Availability is important, with a required start date no later than mid October.
