• Previous experience in fund accounting within a UK-based private equity or alternative investment manager
• A solid understanding of closed-end fund structures and UK accounting/reporting standards
• Strong attention to detail and confidence in reviewing complex financial information
• A proactive approach with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
• Right to work in the UK – unfortunately, sponsorship is not available for this role
