Job description

An exceptional opportunity has arisen within a highly regarded boutique family office in London that is looking to appoint a hands‑on Finance Manager on an initial contract, with a clear view to the role becoming permanent.

If flexibility is important this is a great finance role - 3 days in the office - rare!

This role plays a key role in a lean finance team, taking ownership of the management accounts, statutory financial statements, year‑end audit and the day‑to‑day financial operations of a fast‑paced investment business.

This role is ideally suited to a qualified accountant who has experience working within a small finance function where individuals are expected to be hands‑on, adaptable and capable of operating with minimal supervision.

The environment offers a rare opportunity to work closely with an active investment business, providing exposure similar to that found in a boutique private equity or hedge fund, while benefiting from the stability, culture and long‑term outlook of a family office.

We're looking for someone who is qualified accountant and has experience within a boutique asset manager, family office, hedge fund, private equity firm or similar investment environment and enjoys working in a broad, hands‑on finance role.

A genuinely excellent culture, strong leadership from the CFO and an outstanding opportunity for someone looking to develop their career within a high-quality investment organisation.

Ideally our client is looking for someone who can start within 2-4 weeks...
