This is a standalone, hands on position working closely with the COO. It's a good opportunity for someone who enjoys having ownership rather than sitting within a large finance team.

• Day to day accounting and bookkeeping across the family office and investment entities
• Management accounts, financial statements and expense reporting
• Payments, cash management, budgeting and forecasting
• Coordinating audit and tax matters with external advisers
• Managing NAV and portfolio reporting with third party administrators and service providers rather than calculating NAV in house
• Helping implement a new accounting system and improving existing finance processes

What experience do you need?

• Family office, investment management, fund or similar financial services experience
• Strong hands on accounting knowledge
• Comfortable working independently as the sole finance person
• Experience managing external auditors, tax advisers and fund administrators
• Practical, organised and comfortable working in a small family office environment
