Our client, a top-tier global alternative asset manager, is looking to add a Fund Finance hire at either the Finance Manager (5–7 yrs) or Assistant Controller (7–10 yrs) level depending on experience.
This is a high-visibility seat supporting a flagship investment platform with exposure across the full fund lifecycle — capital activity, reporting, and deal execution. The group is lean, sharp, and works closely with senior leadership (Controller + upper management).
Target profile is Big 4 + mega-fund pedigree — think candidates currently sitting at large institutional PE shops ($50B+ AUM) or auditors coming out of heavily PE-focused books.

- Act as key point of contact with fund admins to ensure accuracy + timeliness
- Partner directly with deal teams on fundings, exits, and valuation support

- Support cash management + credit facility activity
- Drive process improvements + system initiatives (UAT, implementation workstreams)
- Assist with month/quarter-end close and ongoing reporting deliverables
- Work closely with senior leadership on strategic finance initiatives
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s in Accounting / Finance (or similar)
- 5–10 years of experience (level-dependent) within:
