As a Senior Fund Accountant, you will be expected to leverage remote teams to ensure periodic reporting requirements are met. You will review quarterly and annual financial statements and reports and ensure client deliverables are met. Building lasting relationships with internal teams will be essential.

With your analytical mind you will interpret data, providing concise explanations on trends and variances and know how to resolve problems and issues that may arise.

Day to day you will be responsible for front office client contact and technical discussions on corporate entity and private equity fund structures. You will need to draw on your existing experience to manage limited partnership agreements, the capital call process including equalization procedures and the distribution cycle, the working mechanics of the waterfall calculation and the investment valuation process.

You will also be responsible for the annual audit process management, holding technical discussions with auditors and ensuring the Audited Financial Statements are filed timely. On the Investor onboarding you will ensure we comply and meet our KYC obligations by preparing, monitoring and maintaining robust client files, safeguarding us from potential risks.
