Client Details

Our client is a well‑established, globally respected investment manager with a strong track record across public and private markets. The firm operates with a collaborative, high‑performance culture that values integrity, disciplined investing, and long‑term partnership with its clients. With a rapidly expanding alternatives platform, the organisation is investing heavily in talent, technology, and scalable infrastructure to support growth across private credit and other private capital strategies.

Description



Key Responsibilities

  • Own quarterly and annual financial reporting, including GAAP financial statements, support schedules, and investor deliverables.
  • Review and challenge NAV packages, valuation inputs, pricing, and accruals across private credit strategies.
  • Manage capital calls, distributions, waterfalls, carried interest, and partner capital accounts in accordance with fund governing documents.
  • Oversee credit‑instrument accounting-interest accruals, PIK, amortization, fair value adjustments, and lifecycle events.
  • Support and review 10‑Q/10‑K‑style reporting, working closely with auditors and internal stakeholders.
  • Coordinate year‑end audits, regulatory submissions, and tax-related deliverables.
  • Interpret partnership agreements (LPAs/PPMs) to ensure accurate application of economic terms and allocation methodologies.
  • Partner with investment professionals on deal activity, credit facilities, borrowing‑base mechanics, and liquidity forecasting.
  • Strengthen and formalize internal controls, close calendars, reporting frameworks, and accounting policies.
  • Collaborate with operations, legal, compliance, and administrators to maintain accuracy, timeliness, and control across reporting processes.

Profile

  • 7-12 years of experience in private credit, private equity, or alternative fund accounting within an asset manager, fund administrator, or audit firm.
  • Strong technical command of U.S. GAAP, fair value concepts (Level II/III), and credit‑related accounting.
  • Hands‑on experience with NAV oversight, fund financial statements, footnotes, and audit coordination.
  • Deep understanding of capital structures, waterfalls, carried interest, and fee mechanics.
  • Exposure to BDC or SEC‑regulated reporting is highly desirable.
  • Proficiency with fund accounting systems (e.g., Investran, eFront, Allvue, Geneva).
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to partner directly with senior investment professionals.
  • CPA strongly preferred; additional credentials (CFA, MBA) a plus.
  • Detail‑oriented, analytical, and comfortable operating in a dynamic, fast‑paced alternatives environment.

Job Offer

  • High‑impact ownership of financial reporting, NAV oversight, and credit‑fund operations within a rapidly growing alternatives platform.
  • Close partnership with investment teams, giving you real visibility into deal activity, fund performance, and portfolio‑level decision‑making.
  • Significant career progression, with a clear path toward senior controllership and leadership roles as the platform expands.
  • Exposure to complex credit strategies-including special situations, opportunistic credit, and structured credit-offering rare technical development.
  • A modern, collaborative culture that values innovation, process improvement, and empowering its finance leaders to build best‑practice infrastructure.
  • Opportunity to influence systems and automation, supporting the implementation and optimization of new technologies, tools, and reporting frameworks.
  • Competitive compensation and benefits, reflecting the seniority and strategic importance of the role.
  • Stability and long‑term growth, backed by a well‑capitalized global investment manager investing heavily in its private credit business.
