Job description

My client, a leading independent financial services provider, is expanding its Hedge Fund Accounting team. Known for their A-Z fund accounting model, their structure ensures that teams handle the full lifecycle of fund accounting rather than working in a functionalised setup.

This means Supervisors play a key role as doers and reviewers, managing their own workloads while also reviewing and signing off on the work of junior team members. While not responsible for formal people management, they are highly client-facing, acting as the first point of contact for clients on a daily basis.

This role offers the flexibility to work fully remotely, provided your primary residence is in Ireland.

• Engaging with auditors, legal teams, and other stakeholders as required.
• Supporting fund launches and assisting with new client onboarding.
• Providing training and technical support to junior team members.
• Driving process improvements to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
