About My Client
My client, a well-established independent financial services provider, is expanding its Hedge Fund Accounting team. With a highly experienced leadership group and a strong track record of growth, they offer an A-Z fund accounting model, meaning teams work across the full lifecycle rather than in a functionalised structure.
This model ensures that Managers take full ownership of their funds, acting as both technical leads and primary client relationship managers—ideal for those who enjoy direct client interaction and end-to-end oversight.
This role offers the flexibility to work remotely, provided your primary residence is in Ireland.
About the Role
As a Hedge Fund Accounting Manager, you will oversee a team of approximately three-to-four fund accountants, ensuring the accurate and timely delivery of NAVs, performance fee calculations, and investor reporting. You will also serve as the primary client contact, managing investor relationships while ensuring a smooth, high-quality service.
Key Responsibilities:
- Managing a team of four, providing guidance, oversight, and support in a hands-on capacity.
- Acting as the main relationship manager for a portfolio of hedge fund clients—no separate RM function, so you own these relationships.
- Overseeing NAV production, including performance fee calculations, reconciliations, and financial reporting.
- Ensuring timely and accurate fund valuations and escalating issues proactively.
- Reviewing and signing off on capital activity, pricing, journal entries, and investor allocations.
- Mentoring, training, and developing junior team members, conducting performance reviews, and setting goals.
- Working with audit teams, assisting with fund launches, and driving process improvements.
About You
You are an experienced Hedge Fund Accounting Manager or an ambitious Assistant Manager ready to take the next step. You enjoy a hands-on role where you balance team management, technical oversight, and client relationship responsibilities. You thrive in an environment where you are responsible for your funds from start to finish rather than working in a functionalised structure.
- 5+ years of hedge fund accounting experience.
- Strong technical knowledge of NAV calculations, performance fees, and fund structures.
- Previous team management experience (or leadership within a team).
- Proven ability to build and manage client relationships.
- A proactive and solutions-driven approach to problem-solving.
