Fund Accountant

About the Role

Insignia Ventures Partners is a Southeast Asia-focused venture capital firm managing a multi-vintage fund stack backed by sovereign wealth funds, university endowments, and institutional family offices across Asia, Europe, and North America.

We are looking for a Fund Accountant to join our finance team. Working alongside the Finance Director and Senior Fund Accountant, and supported by an external fund administrator, this role covers the full range of fund finance operations — capital calls, LP reporting, valuations support, audit, and compliance — with meaningful exposure beyond what a typical fund accounting role offers at this stage of a career.

We are a small, close-knit team with a genuinely collaborative culture, both within finance and across the wider firm. The role offers direct visibility into how a multi-fund VC platform operates, and the team is committed to supporting that development.

That said, this is an environment where scope expands and priorities shift. We are looking for someone who finds that energising rather than unsettling.

What You Will Do

- Fund operations: process capital calls, distributions, and management fee calculations across multiple fund vehicles, managing and reviewing the output of an external fund administrator.

- Financial reporting: prepare quarterly and annual financial statements in compliance with IFRS and LPA requirements.

- Portfolio monitoring: track portfolio company data and support the valuation process under the guidance of the Finance Director.

- Audit and compliance: assist with annual audit procedures and regulatory filings across MAS and SEC requirements.

- Process improvement: identify and implement automation and AI tools to reduce manual effort and improve data integrity — this is an area we actively invest in, not an afterthought.

- Cross-team support: contribute across finance and operations as needed, including tasks that may fall outside a strict job description.

The Profile We're Looking For

Technical foundation

- Experience: 2–4 years in fund administration or accounting experience, ideally within private equity, venture capital, or real estate funds.

- Accounting fundamentals: solid grounding in core accounting principles and working knowledge of IFRS as applied to investment funds.

- Qualifications: a bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. A professional qualification (ACCA, CPA, CFA, or equivalent) completed or in progress is an advantage.

Mindset and approach

- Curious about technology: not just open to automation and AI, but actively seek opportunities to apply them and enjoy figuring out how to make workflows faster and smarter.

- Flexible and practical: adapt readily when priorities shift, take on what needs doing, and not draw a hard line around the job description.

- Strong sense of ownership: take end-to-end responsibility for deliverables, follow through without being chased, and flag issues before they escalate.

- Collaborative by default: share information proactively, communicate well across teams, and contribute to making the people around them more effective.

- Clear and structured communicator: write and speak in a way that is easy to follow — particularly important when working with senior partners and external counterparties.

- Resourcefulness: Able to find solutions and navigate ambiguity without needing constant supervision

What to Expect

- Direct exposure: work closely with the Finance Director and Senior Fund Accountant, with visibility into decisions and processes that a larger back-office structure would not provide.

- A collaborative team: operate within a tight-knit finance unit and benefit from a broader firm culture that is genuinely supportive across teams.

- A steep but well-supported learning curve: develop quickly through a combination of in-house mentorship and external fund administrator support — VC fund finance is niche, and the learning here is real.

- Variable intensity: expect demanding periods around audit seasons, fund closes, and LP reporting cycles. Outside of those, the focus shifts to process optimisation and longer-term projects.

- Broad scope: stretch beyond a standard fund accounting remit — which, for the right person, is the point.
