Senior Fund Controller

About the Business

Our client is a private credit investment manager focused on private credit and asset-backed lending strategies. The platform manages closed-ended fund vehicles and permanent capital structures across multiple jurisdictions, backing a growing portfolio of credit investments on behalf of institutional investors.

The Role

The Senior Fund Controller will take ownership of financial reporting and fund control activities across a range of private credit vehicles, working closely with fund administrators, auditors, legal counsel and the investment team. This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys building robust processes, challenging third-party outputs, and taking genuine ownership of the numbers behind complex, multi-jurisdictional fund structures.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end quarterly reporting cycle, covering investor reporting, NAV production, management accounts and statutory financial statements across closed-ended credit funds and permanent capital vehicles spanning several jurisdictions.
• Act as the primary point of challenge for NAV packs and capital statements produced by external fund administrators, independently recalculating investor allocations, carry, capital accounts and fee computations against governing fund documents and side letters.
• Take the lead on investor query resolution, preparing considered responses to complex requests and supporting the fundraising process by keeping track record data and marketing materials accurate and current.
• Rebuild and continuously improve the models underpinning carried interest, GP/management fee calculations and distribution waterfalls, establishing a single, controlled source of truth for all investor economics.
• Build and maintain financial models covering capital account movements, commitment tracking, cash flow and liquidity forecasting, and broader investor reporting requirements.
• Support the valuation cycle by reviewing portfolio valuation outputs (built on DCF and market comparable approaches), interpreting period-on-period movements, and liaising closely with the investment and data teams.
• Oversee capital activity across the fund range, including drawdowns, distributions, treasury and FX hedging arrangements, subscription/capital call facilities, borrowing base reporting and day-to-day liquidity management across layered fund structures.
• Maintain close working relationships with administrators, auditors, legal advisers and the investment team, providing technical accounting input and holding external parties to account on quality and timeliness.
• Support transaction execution, working alongside legal, tax and investment colleagues on deal funding, restructurings, and other corporate activity as it arises.
• Champion process improvement and automation across the finance function, including bank account automation and reporting infrastructure, to increase control and reduce manual risk at scale.
• Lead the external audit process across a number of fund entities, and provide mentoring and technical guidance to junior members of the finance team.
