This hire will work directly with the COO, influencing the development of the infrastructure for the hedge fund, taking ownership on developing the accounting systems. Additionally, you will lead on managing the firm’s outsourced service providers, reviewing third-party work while teaching them the fund’s standards and processes. With the backing of the larger Hedge Fund, they firm have aggressive growth targets and as a result the role will grow and complexity increase over time.The team is looking for fully qualified candidates with a minimum of 8 years total experience (must be qualified). Prior experience working at a hedge fund is highly desirable (must have an experience working within another financial services firm) and audit experience is a plus.
