• Support year-end audit and financial statement preparation, liaising with external auditors
• Coordinate capital calls, distributions, and investor documentation
• Assist with quarter‑end processes and work closely with fund administrators
• Act as a point of contact for routine investor queries
• Support FCA filings and maintain compliance logs

Requirements

• Studying towards ACCA or CIMA
• 2+ years’ experience in a finance role within financial services, ideally fund management
• Good grounding in journals and reconciliations
• Strong attention to detail and comfortable working with data
• Able to manage workload and prioritise effectively in a fast‑paced environment
