Investing in early and growth-stage businesses across the UK, Europe and internationally, this is a great opportunity for someone with a strong grounding in fund accounting who is looking to broaden their experience and work more closely with fund and portfolio performance. Hands-on fund accounting experience is essential for this role. The role: Working closely with senior finance and investment stakeholders, you'll support across fund finance, performance reporting and portfolio analysis, gaining exposure to both the financial management of the funds and the underlying portfolio.

• Supporting fund performance reporting and analysis across the funds
• Assisting with portfolio valuations and reviewing financial information from portfolio companies
• Monitoring portfolio performance and helping identify key trends, risks and areas requiring further analysis
• Supporting financial modelling and analysis across new and existing investments
• Contributing to financial due diligence and wider investment analysis
• Supporting core finance processes including budgeting, forecasting, reporting and financial controls
• Helping improve reporting processes and making better use of data, automation and technology What we're looking for: We're looking for an ACA, ACCA or equivalent qualified accountant with hands-on fund accounting experience. This is a core requirement for the position. You may be newly or recently qualified and looking for an opportunity to broaden your experience beyond traditional fund accounting into a more varied, commercially focused role. Experience within venture capital, private equity, fund management or the wider alternatives space would be particularly relevant, alongside a good grounding in financial reporting and analysis. You'll be commercially curious, comfortable working with different stakeholders and keen to develop your understanding of fund and portfolio performance. An interest in technology, AI and finding smarter, more efficient ways of working would also be advantageous.
