Ref: 10221

The Company

We are partnered with a highly respected financial services business with significant AUM that continues to deliver exceptional performance across its specialist investment portfolios. With sustained growth and an impressive pipeline ahead, they are now looking to appoint an ambitious Fund Accountant to strengthen their NAV Construction team.

The Role

Within the Investment Operations function, you'll play a key technical role in overseeing the daily calculation of Net Asset Values, unit pricing and income distributions across a large portfolio of funds. You'll be responsible for maintaining accurate operating expense accruals such as management fees, custody, audit and administrative charges, while also monitoring fee waivers and expense caps to ensure all funds remain within contractual parameters.

You'll calculate and validate income accruals including interest, dividends, rebates, withholding tax and scheme corporation tax, as well as perform amortisation and accretion calculations for fixed-income securities. A core part of the remit involves reconciling cash movements against accruals, identifying discrepancies and resolving issues quickly and accurately.

You'll work closely with the Fund Financial Reporting team to support audits and contribute to wider process and control improvements.

The Person

You will bring experience from a regulated financial services environment with knowledge of fund accounting and a strong understanding of relevant accounting and valuation policies. You'll have exceptional attention to detail and a proven ability to design or follow robust controls that highlight anomalies in accruals, fee calculations or income processing.

You'll be someone who thrives in a role centred around accuracy, continuous improvement and operational robustness, with strong analytical skills and the confidence to communicate effectively with stakeholders across the business.

It would be advantageous, though not essential, if you hold or are studying towards a professional accounting qualification such as ACCA, ACA or CIMA.
