Job description

Overview

Amadeus Capital Partners, a global venture capital firm, is seeking a Fund Accountant to play a pivotal role in our finance team. Supporting the Senior Fund Accountant, your responsibilities will develop across tax, financial accounting, fund reporting, and fund management. You will bring a strong data analytics focus to our fund operations. This is a rare opportunity to join a VC firm where you operate at the intersection of finance, technology, and innovation, giving you exposure to exciting high-growth companies and the chance to build partnerships with experienced investment professionals.

This role is ideal for a qualified accountant with at least 1-2 years post-qualification experience (PQE), potentially making a first move from audit or looking to broaden your exposure within the venture capital industry.

We're looking for someone with excellent communication skills, a proactive mindset, and someone who enjoys working in a collaborative, small team environment. You will bring an analytical nature, superb data analysis skills—be highly proficient in Excel—and demonstrate the ability to quickly learn and work effectively with financial systems.

This is a full-time role (5 days/week), based at our Cambridge office (minimum 3 days/week) with occasional travel to our London office.

Key Responsibilities

As Fund Accountant, your core responsibilities will include:

• Preparing accurate and timely quarterly fund management accounts and audited statutory accounts.
• Producing and maintaining track records.
• Reviewing valuations of portfolio companies and participating in quarterly valuation meetings.
• Preparing and distributing relevant financial reporting to investors.

General fund management

• Preparing and issuing drawdown and distribution notices to fund investors; monitoring collection and payment with the Finance Assistant.
• Assisting with portfolio and exit summaries for presentations, including investor day (AGM).
• Responding to information requests from investors.
• Liaising with auditors, lawyers, and bankers at the fund level.

Tax

• Assisting with the production of annual UK & US tax returns and subsequent distribution to our investors.
• Working on matters relating to M&A taxation.

Transaction & Portfolio Support

• Supporting the Head of Finance and Senior Fund Accountant on sales of quoted stock.
• Providing general ad hoc portfolio support as required.

Who we are looking for...

We're seeking a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent) with ideally 1-2+ years post-qualification experience, particularly within audit, fund accounting, or similar fields.

You should have a strong command of Excel, financial systems, and data analysis. Experience with analytics or business intelligence tools would be a valuable advantage.

You thrive on tackling complex numerical challenges, with the ability to interpret and present financial data clearly and insightfully. Accuracy and attention to detail are essential.

You are curious, commercially aware, and have a genuine interest in technology and/or the venture capital landscape. You're proactive and eager to engage with the broader business.

Being organized, able to manage multiple workstreams, and adaptable to shifting priorities are part of your working style.

You're also a great communicator, collaborative, approachable, and confident engaging with stakeholders at all levels.

TO APPLY

Please submit your CV and a brief cover letter explaining your interest and reasons for applying for the role.
