• Support the audit process and monitor service level agreements and other client agreements.
• Take part in presentations to existing and prospective clients.

Team

• Supervise junior accountants, reviewing and signing off their work.
• Contribute to projects as the business grows.

What you'll bring

Essential

• CA, CPA, ACCA or an equivalent professional qualification.
• 6+ years accounting experience in financial services, ideally in private credit, private equity, asset management or fund administration.

• Experience preparing and reviewing general ledgers and financial statements under IFRS and/or US GAAP, including consolidation under IFRS.

Preferred

• Working knowledge of Investran, or another private equity or private credit system such as eFront.
• Private equity or private credit fund administration experience.
• Strong command of Excel and enterprise accounting systems.

Why consider this role

• It's a newly created role in an expanding team, not a backfill.

• It's a route into private credit for experienced PE fund accountants.
• Our client offers training and education support and flexible working arrangements.
