Hedge Fund Accountant – Newly / Recent Qualified ACA required
The role has a wide reaching remit. The daily responsibilities include you having to perform a hands on fund accounting and financial reporting role. The wider daily responsibilities would see you performing business analysis responsibilities. This includes the analysis on costing’s across the business, ranging from high level business performance analysis, but also more low level costing’s on different areas / expenses to the business. You must prepare and interpret all analysis and be prepared to present back to and challenge various areas of the business and senior management (including the head PM’s and board level). Given the diversity of the business and its products you should be prepared to having to quickly step up to learn a host of new products and have the ability to be able to have high level discussion with members of those business areas. The finance function is still being built out as whilst this is not a new startup, it is a recent startup that is going through a huge period of expansion. So amongst all of these responsibilities you are to work closely with the FD and COO in building out the finance and controls function.
This is clearly a huge role for a newly qualified ACA in terms of a step up, challenge and learning curve, however the client specifically wants to go down this route or at least for a more recently qualified ACA with PQE that the individual has not found to be suitable, perhaps in the IB space. You must be Big 4 qualified, from FS Audit and have a strong academic background (all parts here are not negotiable).
The client is offering a 60k base salary, although this could be flexible if the individual has further PQE than we are setting out for. That said the bonus expectation is 50%+ of base salary so ideally the base salary is managed around the current budget.
