Role & responsibilities
hiring a fund accounting professional to support the AVP Fund Accounting in running day-to-day scheme accounting, NAV preparation and reporting across its PMS and AIF platforms. This is an execution-heavy role suited to a candidate who wants to build technical depth in alternatives on a scaling platform.
The role is deliberately open to non-CA candidates with strong hands-on fund accounting experience. Practical exposure to AIF structures will count for more than qualification alone.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Fund Accounting Support
- Prepare scheme-wise books of account, journal entries, expense accruals and income recognition for review by the AVP.
- Prepare daily / periodic NAV workings, unit capital reconciliations and portfolio valuation schedules.
- Process accounting for investments, corporate actions, management fee accruals and scheme expenses.
- Maintain capital account statements, drawdown and distribution schedules at investor level.
2. Reconciliation & Controls
- Perform daily and monthly reconciliations across bank, custodian, broker, RTA and administrator records.
- Investigate and close reconciliation breaks within defined timelines, escalating exceptions promptly.
- Maintain reconciliation registers, checklists and supporting documentation to audit-ready standards.
3. Reporting & Audit Support
- Prepare inputs for scheme financial statements, MIS packs and management reporting.
- Compile schedules, samples and supporting documentation for statutory and internal audits.
- Support periodic SEBI, custodian and trustee filings with accurate data and timely submission.
4. Process & Automation
- Build and maintain Excel / Google Sheets models and templates to automate recurring workings.
- Follow and help improve SOPs, checklists and maker–checker controls across the accounting cycle.
KEY SKILLS REQUIRED
- Working knowledge of SEBI AIF and PMS Regulations and fund accounting fundamentals.
- Hands-on experience with NAV workings, reconciliations and scheme-level accounting.
- Advanced Excel and Google Sheets; comfort with fund accounting software.
- Strong attention to detail, numerical accuracy and ownership of deadlines.
- Clear written communication and the ability to work to review-and-signoff discipline.
PREFERRED BACKGROUND
- Experience within an AIF environment — AIF fund house, fund administrator, custodian or fund accounting firm — is strongly preferred.
- Exposure to multiple schemes and to offshore fund structures will be an added advantage.
EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
- MBA (Finance), M.Com, CA Inter, CMA or CFA Level I / II. A full CA qualification is not required for this role.
