I'm working with a large private equity firm who are going from strength to stength and require experienced and conscientious professionals to join, who are seeking the flexibility and benefits of contracting but who can bring their fund accouting/fund controlling expertise to the table.

- Prepare quarterly reports
- Preparing statutory accounts in accordance to the LPA's
- Monitoring daily liquidity and treasury aspects
- Responding to investor queries
- Reviewing fund mandates and investment legal documentation to ensure that funds are compliant
- Helping out with ad hoc projects, improvements and automations

What they are looking for in a candidate?

- Qualified Accountant

- Recent experience of private equity or venture capital fund accounting either for an investment firm/fund administrator
- Commercially minded, self-starter and able to challenge the status quo

Paying: Daily rate of £400-550pd inside of IR35 (via umbrella), depending on experience
