We are seeking to recruit an experienced individual to join the Fund Finance as an SPV Controller to oversee the financial operations of our SPVs across multiple funds and jurisdictions. While day-to-day accounting is performed by third-party administrators, this role is responsible for managing the internal oversight of those activities, ensuring accurate, timely and compliant financial reporting and control.
You will lead a team responsible for the communication with administrators on new investment structure, regulatory reporting, reviewing administrator outputs, managing intercompany reconciliations, supporting statutory reporting and any audit processes, serving as a critical link between the administrators, fund controllers and other stakeholders, both internal and external.
Key Responsibilities
Coordinate and review monthly, quarterly, and annual SPV financial statements with external administrators, ensuring compliance with applicable accounting standards (e.g., Lux GAAP, IFRS, UK GAAP).
Manage annual regulatory reporting and audit processes for SPVs in collaboration with administrators and external auditors.
Develop and maintain a strong understanding of investment fund flows and legal structures to identify and communicate key information to both external administrators and internal stakeholders.
Ensure transaction cost allocations, purchase price components, interest accruals, and expense recharges are accurately recorded and aligned with fund expectations.
Reconcile SPV-level data with Aggregator cash flows to ensure consistency and completeness.
Provide accounting input and support for acquisition, disposal, and restructuring transactions at the SPV level.
Oversee timely and accurate intercompany reconciliations across SPVs, local investment entities, HoldCos, and Aggregators.
Review interest calculations, manage loan schedules, and assess working capital requirements.
Monitor financing instruments, NAV movements, investment cost tracking, and upstream payments, ensuring alignment with legal documentation and fund-level reporting.
Maintain strong financial controls across all SPV transactions, including capital movements, income distributions, and loan servicing.
Collaborate closely with fund finance, fund operations, treasury, investment teams, tax, legal, and governance teams to support integrated reporting, regulatory compliance, and sound decision-making.
Skills, Knowledge & Expertise
Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CPA or equivalent).
Post qualification experience in fund finance, SPV accounting, or financial reporting within private equity, real estate, infrastructure, or fund administration.
Strong technical knowledge of IFRS and/or local GAAP (e.g., Lux GAAP).
Experience with fund structures (LP/GP, HoldCos, BidCos, REOCos, debt stacks) and intercompany accounting, or structured finance more generally.
Experience in transaction closing processes, with a strong understanding of fund flows within multi-tiered fund structures preferred.
Previous team management or leadership experience preferred.
Experience working with third-party administrators or shared service models.
