Senior Accounts Assistant | Private Equity | Central London
Our client is an independent, London-headquartered private equity investor focused on transforming and growing mid-market European businesses. The firm takes a genuinely hands-on approach alongside the management teams it backs, and isn't tied to the exit timelines of a traditional, fixed-life fund. It's a lean team with a presence across several European markets, the kind of close-knit, entrepreneurial environment where good work gets noticed.
The firm is growing its in-house finance function, and this role is broader than the title might suggest. Alongside the usual purchase ledger, sales ledger and cash management work, you'll get genuine exposure to intercompany and SPV recharges across a multi-entity group structure, plus audit support along the way. Reporting to the Financial Controller, this is a role for someone who wants to own a process end to end, not sit in one narrow lane of a large finance team.
