Fund Accounting and Performance Analyst
We are partnering with a highly exclusive Private Equity firm to fill the role of Fund Accounting and Performance Analyst. This is a broad, progressive position offering full exposure across the business, working closely with:
- CEO
- CIO
- Investment professionals
The role focuses on:
- Fund accounting
- Valuations
- Performance reporting
- Supporting group finance, operations, and treasury work
About the Role
The position is highly dynamic and collaborative. Given the boutique nature of the firm, responsibilities are wide-ranging, covering both fund finance and firm level finance tasks. Given the firm outsources much of its work, the analyst will:
- Manage external vendor relationships

- Provide a comprehensive end-to-end view of investments
With the firm’s planned growth, the role will also contribute to:
- Launching new investment vehicles
- Facilitating external fund commitments (currently 100% proprietary capital)
- Supporting digital transformation and system enhancements across non-investment functions
Responsibilities
- Fund Accounting & Reporting: Accurate maintenance of financial records, valuations, and quarterly/annual performance calculations.
- Performance Analysis: Complex valuation reporting using DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) models and accurate waterfall calculations (limited partnership distribution policies).
- Collaborative portfolio analysis: End-to-end visibility of assets, valuations, contributions, distributions, and performance reporting.
- Vendor Management: Supervising sourced work—finding discrepancies and ensuring accuracy in external service providers’ outputs.
- Operational Support: Overseeing some firm-wide finance and operational tasks as the business scales.
- Strategic Involvement: Assisting in defining and introducing modern technological solutions for fund administration and scaling processes.
