Job description

Assistant Vice President – Private Credit Fund Accounting

We are supporting a global fund administrator in hiring an Assistant Vice President for its Private Credit team in Singapore. This is a newly created role, opened as the team expands.

You will take ownership of a portfolio of private credit funds, working alongside the Vice President and reviewing the work of a small team of accountants. You will also be the day-to-day contact for the clients you look after.

The team welcomes candidates from private equity fund accounting as well as private credit. If your background is in closed-ended PE funds and you want to build private credit expertise, we would like to hear from you.

What you'll do

Fund accounting and reporting

• Maintain books and records and calculate fund NAVs for a portfolio of private credit funds.
• Coordinate and review financial statements and monthly or quarterly reporting, including performance metrics.
• Review carried interest, performance and incentive fee calculations.

Investor and capital activity

• Review capital calls, distributions and equalisations, including investor allocations.
• Review partner capital account statements and coordinate payments and other transactions.
• Work with the Investor Relations team on investor queries and capital activity notices.

Clients and stakeholders

• Act as the primary day-to-day contact for clients and other fund participants, including investment managers, banks and auditors.
• Support the audit process and monitor service level agreements and other client agreements.
• Take part in presentations to existing and prospective clients.

Team

• Supervise junior accountants, reviewing and signing off their work.
• Contribute to projects as the business grows.

What you'll bring

• CA, CPA, ACCA or an equivalent professional qualification.
• 6+ years' accounting experience in financial services, ideally in private credit, private equity, asset management or fund administration.
• Experience in limited partnership (closed-ended fund) accounting.
• Experience preparing and reviewing general ledgers and financial statements under IFRS and/or US GAAP, including consolidation under IFRS.
• 3–4 years' experience supervising or leading staff.
• Clear written and spoken English, as the role involves regular reporting to and communication with clients, investors and auditors.

Preferred

• Working knowledge of Investran, or another private equity or private credit system such such as eFront.
• Private equity or private credit fund administration experience.
• Strong command of Excel and enterprise accounting systems.

Why consider this role?

• It's a newly created role in an expanding team, not a backfill.
• You’ll own a portfolio of funds and supervise a team at AVP level.
• It's a route into private credit for experienced PE fund accountants.
• Our client offers training and education support and flexible working arrangements.
