Our division provides administration services to Hedge Fund clients. Due to major expansion in our existing hedge fund administration space and through diversification into private equity, family office, and quant funds administration, our team has grown significantly in the last two years and continues to grow. This growth offers exciting opportunities to join a growing team and develop new skills.
The Fund Accountant will be responsible for managing the end-to-end accounting processes for clients, including overseeing full P&L and balance sheet reporting, as well as daily net asset value calculations. The successful candidate will develop knowledge of Alternative Investment Funds, including products, strategies, hedge fund accounting, fee structures (e.g., incentive and management fees), and investor-level accounting. The team operates across global locations, and the candidate will collaborate daily with colleagues in Asia, Europe, and the US.
The role requires strong communication and accounting skills. A background in fund accounting is preferable but not essential.
