Position: Client Accountant
IQ-EQ is part of a leading Investor Services group which combines global expertise with an unwavering focus on client service delivery. We support fund managers, global companies, family offices, and private clients operating worldwide.
Every day brings a new challenge, so you'll need to be a team player at heart, with an eye for detail and great organizational skills to prioritize your day to ensure deadlines are met and timelines are adhered to.
Your primary responsibility will be to act as a day-to-day front office contact for your designated private equity, real estate, credit, or debt fund clients. You will be part of a supportive team, own your tasks, and proactively manage your deliverables and resolve any issues that may arise.
What you'll be doing
1. Manage day-to-day responsibilities for designated Private Equity or Real Estate Clients.
2. Review quarterly and annual financial statements and reports.
3. Work closely with your line Manager and Technical & Training Team to ensure financial statements meet the Funds reporting requirements, e.g., UK GAAP or IFRS.
4. Review investor drawdown calculations to ensure accuracy of figures as Funds seek access to their commitments from investors.
5. Review investor distribution calculations to ensure the flow of funds from the sale of an investment are accurately recorded, so proceeds are appropriately allocated and paid to investors.
6. Ensure the accurate communication of all cash movements between the Fund and its Investors through the issuance of relevant notices.
7. Oversee the preparation and completion of Client deliverables, including agreeing timetables with Clients and monitoring progress to ensure on-time delivery.
8. Conduct regular Client calls with CFOs or Financial controllers to ensure open and effective communication.
9. Mentor and support other staff as an expert on designated clients and funds.
10. Gain a good understanding of the accounting framework for each client (as prescribed in the Funds legal documentation, e.g., LPA) and ensure transactions are treated accordingly.
11. Contribute ideas to improve processes to increase efficiency or reduce risk.
What You Bring
* ACCA/ACA/CIMA qualified, Qualified by Experience, or equivalent.
* 3+ years experience in a professional office environment.
* Experience reviewing working paper files and Financial Statements, including disclosures, or strong accounting background demonstrated through experience and CPD.
* Management of client relationships and experience resolving issues directly with clients.
* Experience supporting and mentoring less experienced team members.
Why Join Us?
* Hybrid flexibility - Work from the office 2 days a week (can be reduced depending on travel time).
* Training from day 1 – no prior Private Equity or Funds experience required, just the drive to learn.
* A supportive, team-driven environment with opportunities to grow.
* Benefits such as Pension scheme, life cover, income protection, and more.
