Private Equity | Fund Accounting | Investran | Data Migration | Strategic Transformation
Auricoe is partnering with a leading global fund administration and investment services organisation to appoint a VP / SVP – Private Assets Integration & Transformation to its US operations.
This is an opportunity for an experienced Private Assets Fund Accounting, Client Integration or Fund Systems professional to combine deep technical expertise with a longer-term role in strategic transformation.
The position offers a distinctive career path: initially taking ownership of complex private asset fund onboarding and data migration activities, before transitioning towards solution design, operational transformation, technology innovation and process automation.
We are particularly interested in individuals with 8–10+ years' experience who understand private asset fund accounting at a granular level, possess exceptional data analysis and reconciliation skills, and have the experience and judgement to challenge existing processes and develop more effective solutions.
The Opportunity
Phase 1 – Hands-on Integration & Onboarding (Initial 6 Months)
The initial focus will be on understanding the organisation's operating model, systems and client requirements through direct involvement in complex fund onboarding and integration programmes.
Responsibilities will include:
- Leading complex private equity and private asset fund migrations, including transitions from incumbent administrators and self-administered structures.
- Working extensively with Investran, ensuring accurate conversion, integration and validation of historical fund accounting records.
- Extracting, cleansing, mapping and reconciling years of complex financial data from multiple sources.
- Investigating discrepancies between transaction-level activity, general ledgers, capital accounts and financial statements.
- Resolving historical accounting inconsistencies, unexplained balances and incomplete or unreliable financial records.
- Overseeing chart of accounts mapping, ETL processes, data conversion, reconciliation and migration testing.
- Working directly with institutional clients, fund controllers and operational teams to resolve complex accounting and data issues.
- Ensuring successful transition into ongoing fund administration, with accurate data, robust controls and clear audit trails.
Phase 2 – Strategic Transformation & Solution Design
Having developed a detailed understanding of the business, the longer-term intention is for the successful individual to move towards a broader transformation remit.
This may include:
- Designing and delivering strategic improvements to private asset onboarding and integration processes.
- Developing scalable solutions to improve the speed, accuracy and efficiency of complex fund migrations.
- Supporting technology-enabled transformation, including AI, intelligent automation and data processing initiatives.
- Identifying opportunities to standardise workflows, strengthen data governance and reduce manual intervention.
- Working with technology, operations and senior leadership teams to develop future-state operating models.
- Translating complex accounting and operational challenges into practical systems and process improvements.
- Helping shape the organisation's longer-term private assets integration and transformation capabilities.
What We're Looking For
- 8–10+ years' experience across private equity fund accounting, private asset fund administration, client integration, fund migrations or investment operations transformation.
- Essential: Strong hands-on Investran experience, ideally covering complex fund accounting, historical data migration, onboarding or systems integration.
- Deep understanding of private equity fund structures, capital activity, general ledger accounting, financial statements and reconciliation processes.
- Proven experience managing complex financial data conversions, including data extraction, transformation, mapping, validation and testing.
- Exceptional analytical skills, with the ability to investigate historical accounting discrepancies and reconstruct incomplete financial records.
- Experience leading complex fund onboarding or integration programmes involving multiple stakeholders and institutional clients.
- Strong understanding of operational controls, data integrity, accounting workflows and systems architecture.
- The ability to combine hands-on technical delivery with strategic thinking, stakeholder leadership and commercial awareness.
- An interest in using technology, automation and process redesign to transform how complex financial operations are delivered.
Above all, we're looking for someone who combines the investigative mindset of a forensic accountant with the broader vision of a transformation leader.
You must be equally comfortable getting into the detail of a complex fund reconciliation and engaging senior stakeholders on how to redesign the process to make it more efficient.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
This is more than a conventional fund accounting or integration position.
It offers the opportunity to:
- Work with sophisticated institutional investors and complex alternative investment structures.
- Gain detailed exposure to global fund administration and integration operations.
- Progress from hands-on delivery into strategic transformation, solution engineering and technology-enabled change.
- Contribute to the development of next-generation onboarding processes, including automation and AI initiatives.
- Build a long-term career with meaningful exposure to senior leadership and international transformation programmes.
