Jobbeschreibung

Q·ADVISERS is a Vienna-based investment and corporate finance boutique, active across a wide range of asset classes including private and public equities, real estate (Q·REAL), renewable energy (SQ·ENERGY) and through its listed Family Office Investment Holding Q·CAPITAL.

As a family-run company, we pride ourselves on our friendly and supportive culture, where professionalism meets a positive team spirit. We offer a great place to work and an inspiring platform to grow: you’ll gain exposure to the worlds of finance, real estate and renewable energy. With tailormade trainings and a culture of open communication, we encourage every team member to take initiative, bring in fresh ideas, and actively shape the future with us.

Your role

This role exists at the intersection of investment administration, financial controlling, and process thinking. You will keep our portfolio operations running with precision — and actively help build the systems and workflows that make that possible at scale. We are looking for someone who is as comfortable reviewing a financial statement or a capital call notice as they are mapping out a repetitive workflow and asking: “can we automate this?” You will work directly with the investment team, and also interface regularly with external accountants, tax advisors, legal counsel, and portfolio companies. This is not a role for someone who wants a clearly defined lane. It’s for someone who sees an undefined edge and moves toward it.

What you´ll do

• Administer and monitor our investment portfolio across asset classes - VC/PE, real estate, energy, and listed holdings - tracking capital calls, distributions, reporting deadlines, and key investment milestones
• Review invoices, financial statements, and reports from portfolio companies and external counterparties; flag discrepancies and follow through to resolution
• Serve as the primary point of contact with our bookkeepers for monthly and quarterly accounting cycles - providing the necessary documents, clarifying transactions, and ensuring clean, timely closing
• Monitor and reconcile accounting entries across our entities, and keep an eye on intercompany transactions, accruals, and period-end adjustments
• Support portfolio valuations, internal reporting, and preparation of annual report materials
• Coordinate with external accountants, tax advisors, and legal counsel on ongoing investment and entity matters
• Identify repetitive, time-consuming tasks across our investment workflows and take initiative to redesign, streamline, or automate them - using AI tools and modern workflow thinking
• Maintain clean, structured investment documentation and data across shared systems
• Contribute your perspective on deals, structures, and partnership opportunities — we want people who think, not just process

What we're looking for

• A backround in finance, accounting, or economics - with hands-on experience in an investment, audit, fund administration, or advisory context
• Comfort with accounting fundamentals: understanding monthly/quarterly close processes, reading a P&L and balance sheet, and communicating confidently with bookkeepers and auditors
• An entrepreneurial mindset: you’ve thrived in environments where the path isn’t always pre - defined and you’ve made it work anyway • Genuine interest in AI tools and workflow automation - not as a buzzword, but as a practical lever for doing better work
• Sharp analytical thinking and attention to detail - you read financial statements carefully, spot what doesn’t add up, and structure information clearly
• Strong communicator in German and English - written and spoken; confident in external conversations with lawyers, advisors, and institutional counterparties
• An ownership mindset: you follow things through, you flag problems early, and you don’t wait to be chased
• Interest in legal and/or accounting frameworks is a plus; so is a point of view on investments, structures, and what makes a good deal
• Discretion and trustworthiness - you will work with sensitive information in a high-trust, family office environment

What we offer

• A role with genuine breadth - across asset classes, deal stages, and entity types; no two months look the same
• The chance to actively shape how we work, not just execute within existing processes
• Direct exposure to the investment team and decision-makers from day one, in a flat and fastmoving environment
• A family office context where your work has visible, real-world impact
• Room to grow as you build trust and expertise - both in scope and in seniority
• Flexible working arrangements: we are open to full/part-time hours and a hybrid setup (office and home)
• Additional benefits: office gym, weekly yoga, and regular team events
