Investment Accountant | 12–18 Month FTC
London (hybrid / flexible)
£60,000–£70,000
I’m supporting a fast‑growing European financial services group as they look to hire an Investment Accountant on a 12–18 month fixed‑term contract.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a business that has scaled significantly in recent years, with continued expansion driven by both acquisitions and organic growth. The role sits within a central finance function supporting investment reporting across multiple asset classes in a dynamic, evolving environment.
Key areas of focus will include:
* Investment accounting and month‑end controls
* Reconciliations between general ledger and investment platforms
* Oversight and validation of data from third‑party providers
* Supporting IFRS (and local) reporting across a complex investment portfolio
* Working across BAU and process improvement activity as the function evolves
The ideal background will include:
* Qualified accountant (or equivalent experience)
* Strong experience in investment or asset accounting within financial services / insurance. Can look at candidates moving straight from practice who have experience auditing asset management or insurance.
* Exposure to complex asset classes (e.g. funds, bonds, private assets, derivatives)
* Comfortable operating in changeable, fast‑paced environments
* Strong attention to detail and stakeholder management skills
This role offers flexibility, strong exposure within a growing organisation, and the chance to play a meaningful role during a period of ongoing change.
