Portfolio & Operations Accountant - Investment Management
London - West end
£60,000-£65,000 + benefits
Permanent | Full-time office based
An opportunity has arisen for a recently qualified accountant to join a boutique and growing investment management business based near Bond Street.
This is a broad, hands-on position offering considerably more variety and commercial exposure than a traditional financial accounting role. Working closely with the Head of Finance & Operations and wider investment team, you will gain exposure across portfolio accounting and operations, investment reporting, treasury, management company finance and commercial projects.
The opportunity would particularly suit an ACA or ACCA qualified accountant coming from practice who has experience working with investment management or financial services clients and is looking to make their first move into industry.
Candidates who have trained within a smaller or mid-sized accountancy practice and gained hands-on accounts preparation experience alongside audit would be particularly well suited.
The Role
You will take responsibility across a broad range of finance and portfolio activities, including:
Preparing management accounts and statutory financial statements for UK and Jersey entities
Supporting quarterly portfolio performance reporting
Reviewing and analysing investment and portfolio data
Performing investment and portfolio reconciliations
Supporting portfolio monitoring and asset allocation analysis
Treasury management, including liquidity oversight, cash reporting and foreign exchange
Bookkeeping, cash management, billing and accounts payable
Preparing VAT returns and supporting other company tax requirements
Assisting with budgets and financial planning
Preparing information for quarterly Board reporting
Working closely with portfolio administrators and other external service providers
Improving financial controls, procedures and reporting processes
Supporting systems implementation, automation and wider business improvement projects
Undertaking ad hoc analytical and commercial projects alongside the investment and finance teams
About You
You will ideally be:
ACA or ACCA qualified, preferably practice trained
Experienced in working with investment management, asset management, funds or broader financial services clients
Comfortable preparing accounts and financial statements, rather than having solely audit experience
Strong technically, with a good grounding in financial and management accounting
Interested in investments and keen to develop your understanding across different asset classes
Highly capable with Excel and comfortable working with large amounts of financial and investment data
Commercial, analytical and naturally curious
Proactive and comfortable taking ownership within a small business
Interested in improving processes, controls and automation rather than simply maintaining existing processes
Comfortable working across a broad remit where priorities can change quickly
The Opportunity
This is an excellent opportunity for a recently qualified accountant looking to make their first move from practice into investment management and gain considerably broader exposure than would typically be available within a larger finance team.
You will join a small, high-calibre investment management business and work closely with senior members of the firm, gaining exposure to a diverse investment portfolio spanning public and private markets.
As the business continues to grow, there is significant scope for the successful candidate to develop their responsibilities and play an increasingly important role across both portfolio operations and finance.
