Through growth, they are looking to hire a Fund Controller who will manage the outsourced accountants and partner heavily with the investment team.

Each person in the team focuses on different funds, which means you have end to end exposure across every element of the fund.

They outsource all reporting to their fund administrators (Jersey and/or Lux based) which frees up more time to support with ongoing portfolio monitoring and analysis.

One of the funds this role will focus on is nearing the end of its fundraising cycle.

As a result, the role will have exposure across various fundraising activities, alongside conducting due diligence and providing modelling support to the investment team.

On a periodic basis you shall be responsible for investor reporting (detailing fund performance and distributions), valuations, and fund financial statements.

They are looking for a qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA) with experience in a closed-ended fund accounting role. You will be required to build and manipulate investment/cashflow models, so it is vital to have excellent excel skills.

Candidates must have exceptional written and verbal communication skills, and be comfortable speaking to a range of internal and external stakeholders.

For the right candidate, they are looking to pay up to £100,000 plus 40%+ bonus (this was achieved by all staff over the last 3 years).

This role will also qualify for carried interest on the funds. The firm have a fantastic culture and are a highly collaborative team.
