Fund Controller - Fast-Growth Fin-tech | £120,000 + Hybrid Flexibility
Exclusive to Robert Half
We're partnering exclusively with a high-growth fin-tech platform that's reshaping private markets. After relying on a third-party for fund financial operations, they're now ready to bring this critical function in-house - and hiring their first Fund Controller to lead the charge.
The Opportunity
As the first in-house Fund Controller, you'll take full ownership of fund accounting and operations. You'll lead the transition from outsourced to in-house, design scalable systems, and build the fund finance team from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to shape infrastructure from day one in a tech-forward, investor-backed fintech.
Key Responsibilities
Own fund accounting, reporting, and operations for all managed funds
Oversee NAVs, capital calls, distributions, fee models, and waterfall calculations
Lead quarterly and annual financial reporting
Manage audits, tax filings, and compliance
Transition operations in-house and implement scalable systems
Hire and mentor a high-performing fund finance team
What We're Looking For
3-5+ years in fund accounting/controller roles (PE, VC, or similar)
Experience managing third-party fund administrators and audits
Strong technical knowledge of fund reporting standards
Systems-savvy; comfortable with fund tech tools
ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified
Startup mindset: adaptable, hands-on, and solutions-focused
The Package
Up to £120,000 base salary
Hybrid working (high flexibility)
28 days holiday + bank holidays
Modern, collaborative office space
Note: no bonus initially - full benefits evolving with growth
Why Join?
Define and lead a mission-critical function
Work closely with senior leadership and top-tier fund managers
Build, shape, and scale processes from scratch
Join a team that values independent thinking and low-ego collaboration
