Job Description

Purpose of the Job

Responsible for the planning and delivery of the client accounting requirements in compliance with the Company's contractual obligations. As part of the management team will be involved in strategic development, and the training and development of the accounting team.

4 reasons why a qualified accountant might want a fund accountant role:

1. Interest in the investment industry: Fund accounting involves working with investment funds, which may be either private equity or PLCs listed on the London Stock Exchange. The underlying investments span a broad range of areas, including renewable energy, property, equity, loans and technology to name a few. If the accountant has a keen interest in the financial markets and investment strategies, a fund accountant role can provide valuable exposure to this industry.

2. Career growth opportunities: Fund accounting can offer excellent career growth prospects. Working with investment funds can provide exposure to complex financial instruments, portfolio management strategies, and regulatory compliance. This experience can be valuable for advancing one's career in finance, asset management, or even starting a venture in the investment sector. There are many examples of career growth within Ocorian, whereby people have started as a fund accountant and have progressed to management and beyond.

3. Skill development: The core work of a Fund Accountant is producing management and statutory accounts, as well as client management, audit engagement and knowledge of financial reporting. These skills are transferrable across the wider accounting industry. However, fund accounting introduces some other unique skill sets, including investment analysis and performance measurement. By transitioning into a fund accountant role, a qualified accountant can enhance their skill set and broaden their professional expertise.

4. Networking opportunities: Working in the fund accounting industry can provide opportunities to connect with professionals from various segments of the financial services industry, including investment managers, company secretaries, brokers, and auditors. This networking can open doors for future career opportunities or collaborations.
