A fast-growing VC investment firm — on track to double its AUM by the end of the year — is expanding its finance function and looking for a newly qualified accountant to join at a pivotal point in its growth.
This is a genuine step out of practice and into industry, working directly alongside the Head of Fund Accounting and with regular exposure to the CFO. This is an ideal opportunity for a candidate auditing PE/VC clients to see the other side of the table, including deal launches, live NAVs, investor negotiations.
Responsibilities:
- Overseeing the fund administrator and holding them to account on delivery and accuracy
- Review financial statements, management accounts, quarterly NAVs, and capital statements
- Review and maintain valuations and fund performance metrics
- Preparation of financial data and commentary for internal and external investment committees
- Building and maintaining fund budgets and forecasts
- Leading the annual audit process — this time from the client side
- Supporting fundraising activity, including DDQs and PPMs
- Monitoring regulatory and tax filings and compliance obligations
- Getting to grips with LPA compliance for new fund launches
- Regular interaction with investor relations
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements:
- ACA / ACCA qualified, ideally within the last 1–2 years
- Audit background with exposure to private equity or venture capital fund clients (Big 4 or top-tier mid-market welcomed)
- Solid technical accounting grounding, with genuine curiosity to learn PE/VC-specific principles rather than deep prior industry experience
- Strong academic background – minimum 2:1 degree
- Comfortable working closely with senior stakeholders in a small, fast-paced team — this isn't a role for someone who wants to stay behind the scenes
- A good understanding of common fund structures is a plus, but not a prerequisite.
