Job Description:

This role is within a highly successful hedge fund. Due to the firm's growth, they are hiring a new Financial Controller who will work on various projects to support further expansion.

The role reports to a high-caliber Finance Director and is part of a collaborative Group Accounts team of 8. The successful candidate will oversee the finance functions across management companies in seven global jurisdictions, gaining broad exposure to core finance, tax, regulatory, and operational areas.

Responsibilities include managing external advisors for statutory and management accounts (under FRS 102 and US GAAP), leading regulatory reporting (including ICARA), overseeing audits for regulated and unregulated entities, developing financial planning models (budgets, forecasts, FP&A, liquidity analysis), producing internal reports and ad hoc analysis for senior stakeholders, and enhancing internal controls. The role also involves automating and optimizing finance processes through proprietary tools.

The ideal candidate is fully qualified with at least 5 years of post-qualification experience. Prior hedge fund experience is highly desirable (experience in another buy-side firm acceptable), and audit experience is a plus. The firm values high-caliber individuals with strong academic backgrounds.

This is a critical, newly created position offering a competitive compensation package that significantly exceeds current earnings. The company has modern offices in Mayfair and promotes a collaborative, progressive culture.
