This is a newly created role and will be a key member of the Finance team who will oversee the financial operations of their SPVs across multiple funds and jurisdictions.

The successful applicant will be a proactive, fully qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or ICAS) either making their first move from practice (Manager level upwards with financial services exposure) or coming from a similar role with a strong knowledge of IFRS accounting standards and statutory accounts. It would be ideal if the successful applicant has experience in fund finance, SPV accounting, or financial reporting within private equity, real estate, infrastructure, or fund administration coupled with experience in transaction closing processes, with a strong understanding of fund flows within multi-tiered fund structures. Due to the nature of this position it is necessary that the successful individual is able to communicate with staff at all levels, whilst maintaining their own work load.
