Job description

Our client is a Singapore-headquartered private investment manager, institutionally backed and investing on a multi-asset basis across both public and private markets, looking to hire a Senior Fund Accountant to take ownership of fund accounting, investment reporting and regulatory filings.

The role sits within a lean finance and operations team and covers the full spread from NAV preparation and custodian reconciliations through to performance reporting, investor packs and statutory submissions. It would suit someone with a solid fund accounting foundation who wants broader scope and direct exposure to senior stakeholders, rather than a narrow, single-process seat.

Responsibilities for the Senior Fund Accountant:

• Handle fund accounting and administration, including NAV preparation.
• Reconcile cash and positions against custodian statements.
• Own monthly portfolio performance reporting, covering returns, risk measures and benchmark comparisons.
• Track and review the performance of existing holdings.
• Prepare investor packs and recommendations supporting investment committee and board approvals.
• Produce and present operations reporting, including performance, risk and compliance reports, to internal and external stakeholders.
• Ensure accurate and timely submission of statutory and regulatory financial reports, including GST filings.
• Support KYC and AML review requirements, annual statutory filing and sundry regulatory reporting.
• Streamline investment reporting processes and improve data integrity across the reporting cycle.

Requirements for the Senior Fund Accountant:

• Degree in Accounting, Finance, Business or Economics.
• Minimum of 5 to 7 years of relevant experience in fund accounting, investment reporting or a related area.
• Working knowledge of investment products, financial markets and industry regulations, with familiarity across equities, fixed income and alternatives.
• Ability to interpret complex data sets and draw meaningful conclusions from them.
• Comfortable managing competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Track record of identifying operational inefficiencies and acting on them.
• Confident communicating with senior stakeholders, both written and verbal.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office, with familiarity with Bloomberg or other portfolio management software.
• Self-motivated and hands-on, comfortable working independently in a lean team environment.
