Fund Accountant

A very rare opportunity for a part qualified fund accountant to join an international leader in alternative investments.

They are working exclusively with Marks Sattin and only usually hire at the qualified level (which is not often due to the low turnover) so to get an opportunity to work there before qualifying will really set you up well!

In January 2018 they closed their 10th private equity fund, with commitments of €7 billion and is currently raising its 11th private equity fund.

The team is made up the CFO, Head of Fund Control and two senior Fund Controllers and they all sit together in an open plan office. They have a great culture, very inclusive - everyone is involved in all meetings and everyone has a voice no matter how junior you are.

They will be committed to support your studies towards ACCA or CIMA and one of their perks is that they have a chef on site to provide free breakfast and lunch!
