*Support strategic projects such as supporting the implementation of an accounting system
About You
*Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA or equivalent) with strong post-qualification experience.
*Background in hedge funds, alternatives, or broader asset management.
*Strong grounding in corporate accounting, with a hands-on mindset.
*Thrives in entrepreneurial environments where you can build, improve, and take ownership .
*Strong communicator who enjoys partnering with senior stakeholders.
*Ambition to take on leadership and build a team in the medium term.
The Opportunity

You’ll get exposure to complex, global structures, work closely with senior leadership, and be positioned to step into a broader leadership role as the firm continues to grow.
