Description

Finance Manager - Multi-Asset Private Fund

Our client is a fast-growing private fund manager investing across multi-asset strategies in both public and private markets. With a genuinely diverse portfolio and continued growth, they are now looking for a Finance Manager to join their team.

While this role covers core fund accounting and investment reporting, it is a considerably broader position than a typical fund accounting mandate. The successful candidate will take ownership of financial control, tax and GST compliance, and will be a key point of contact for auditors and regulators, in addition to supporting investment operations and reporting. This is a genuine opportunity to build a long-term career on the buy-side, with the role set to develop and broaden in scope over time as the fund continues to grow.

Key Responsibilities

1. Fund accounting and administration, including NAV preparation
2. Reconciliation of cash and positions against custodian statements
3. Ownership of monthly performance reporting across portfolios
4. Financial control, tax and GST filings, ensuring full regulatory compliance
5. Liaising directly with auditors and regulators on statutory matters
6. Monitoring and analysing investment performance, risk measures, and benchmark comparisons
7. Supporting KYC/AML reviews, annual statutory filings, and sundry regulatory reporting
8. Preparing investor packs and recommendations for Investment Committee and Board approval
9. Identifying and implementing process improvements to enhance reporting and operational efficiency

What They're Looking For

1. Degree qualified in Accounting, Finance, Business, or Economics
2. 5-7 years' relevant experience in fund accounting, investment reporting, or financial control
3. Working knowledge of investment products and asset classes (equities, fixed income, alternatives)
4. Strong analytical skills with high attention to detail
5. Proficient in Microsoft Office; familiarity with Bloomberg or other portfolio management systems advantageous
6. A self-starter who is comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment
7. Strong communication skills, with the confidence to present to senior stakeholders

This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate, driven individual seeking a genuine long-term career on the buy-side. Our client is known for investing in and developing their people - training will be provided on any skill gaps, and the role offers real scope to grow in responsibility over time.
