I am delighted to be partnering with a high growth Private Markets fund, looking to appoint a new Fund Controller into a pivotal senior and commercial role. This impressive and slick outfit is lead by some very well known industry veterans, having launched and raised multiple funds in a relatively short amount of time.
This broad role will encompass all aspects of fund accounting oversight, deal support and valuations, but more importantly will be part of a small and collegiate team with day to day exposure to the investment team and pipeline of deals. Given the boutique nature of the business, you're likely to be involved in more than just Fund Operations, making for an exciting as well as career propelling opportunity for an aspiring FD of the future.
Responsibilities:
- Liaise and manage the relationship with the fund administrators, including supporting the quarterly fund accounting process
- Work with the investment team to ensure the quarterly valuation packs are updated and accurate
- Support the investment team in the settlement of trade activity/investments and other transaction related matters
- Manage the year end audit process for the Funds and manage the fund administrators in preparing the required information for annual audits
- Assist with the quarterly investor report process, including the review of carried interest calculations
- Oversee and support the collation of documents for the Quarterly GP board meetings
- Manage the relationship with the Funds depository and support them in their activities
- Assist the fund administrators with preparing capital call/distribution notices, notification letters and any other LP communications
- Oversee the preparation and calculation of the quarterly management fees
- Oversee the periodic and annual tax reporting filings for the various companies within the Fund structures
- Support the Financial Controller with wider tax compliance and reporting matters at the Fund
- Assistance with dealing with investor queries
- Support the implementation of new in-house systems and procedures
- Various ad-hoc tasks
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
