This is not just another finance role, this is a rare opportunity to join a thriving organisation at a pivotal moment in its continued expansion, where your impact will be both visible and valued. You'll be joining a dynamic, entrepreneurial team that encourages strategic thinking, innovation and genuine ownership. Daily interaction with senior stakeholders is guaranteed, meaning your contributions will influence key decisions and help steer exciting investment and growth projects. Strong performance doesn't go unnoticed and swift progression and meaningful reward are part of the culture. This role is suited to a qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA Accountant (Manager level upwards) from an audit background who has financial services exposure or with experience in working in a similar role. 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. While day-to-day accounting is performed by third party individuals, this role is responsible for managing the internal oversight of those activities, ensuring accurate, timely and compliant financial reporting and control. Your influence will extend beyond pure numbers, you'll champion consistency, strengthen controls and elevate financial practices across the organisation. Expect variety, opportunity and exposure that will accelerate your professional growth. You will lead a team responsible for the communication with the wider business on new investment structure, regulatory reporting, reviewing outputs, managing intercompany reconciliations, supporting statutory reporting and any audit processes, serving as a critical link between the fund controllers and business stakeholders (internal and external). You will also play a key role in ensuring consistent accounting practices and high standards across the business, producing timely and accurate information and proactively supporting the businesses. It is expected that the successful candidate will be dynamic and able to thrive in a fast-paced organisation, where initiative and ability to identify areas of improvement are promoted. 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. Focussed on delivering specific objectives, you will be proactive, adaptable, dynamic and self-motivated with a desire to find and deliver improvements. If you consider yourself to be a committed, career driven professional who can demonstrate the above experience and who would welcome the stimulus of this commercial finance post then we would be pleased to hear from you. If you would like to apply for this role or would like to find out more, please apply online or contact Jonathan Moss at Sellick Partnership on (phone number removed). We are only able to consider applications from those who are eligible to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship. Sellick Partnership is proud to be an inclusive and accessible recruitment business and we support applications from candidates of all backgrounds and circumstances.
