About the Role
This is a rare and highly commercial opportunity for a fully qualified accountant to join a start-up, tech-focused private equity fund as its first full-time finance hire. The firm has been established for several years, having successfully completed two fundraises and multiple investments, with finance support provided by a fractional CFO in a highly outsourced environment to date.
With deal activity set to accelerate, this is an excellent opportunity to join at an early stage manager, offering clear and fast progression path towards Finance Director or CFO.
Key Responsibilities
- Oversight and management of all outsourced fund and corporate accounting, including audits and investor reporting
- Acting as a key partner to the Partners and investment team across the deal lifecycle, including due diligence, financial modelling, and structuring
- Providing ad hoc commercial support to portfolio companies (e.g. professionalising finance functions, board-level business partnering and/or developing reporting/KPI frameworks)
- Supporting a range of strategic and operational projects as you help build out the firm’s finance infrastructure
