Description
Our client is seeking candidates for both a permanent role and a one year fixed term contract role to undertake this exciting opportunity in what is not just an accounting role but is a very operational role incorporating corporate finance and group finance and reviewing work of administrators. Both roles will manage NAV reviews and financial reporting and involve much more exposure to the actual transactions than for a standard administrator as will be working within the funds.
The Permanent role will heavily focus on RE Funds, which are mostly third party, so there are quite a lot of stakeholders. Duties involve production, reconciliation and analysis of monthly financial and operational performance; KPIs for reporting including consolidation of group across multi-currency entities; oversight of Fund performance against KPIs; due diligence monitoring activities; oversight and control of regulated entities; involvement with operational duties including capital calls, capital distributions, and liquidity management; so must be a strong administrator with accounting in background.
The fixed term contract is a much more linear role focused within PE and part of active systems development for the bespoke in-house system being created, so experience is not necessary but a willingness to learn and lead with innovation are important
The ideal candidate will be either working within a fund administrator at Fund/Senior Fund Accountant level currently or an audit business at Audit Senior level; fully qualified, with at least 3 years PQE. Candidates must be fully qualified with at least 3 years PQE as need to have gravitas and ability to push back if things are not right and degree in Accounting/Finance; proficiency with MS Office, particularly Excel; flexible, attention to detail and proactive; strong organisation, communication and analytical skills; detail for maintaining accurate records and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements; good team player.
