$85k - $120k

IQ-EQ

Company Description We’re a leading Investor Services group offering end-to-end services in administration, accounting, reporting, regulatory and compliance needs of the investment sector worldwide. We employ a global workforce of 6,500+ people across 24 jurisdictions and have assets under administration (AUA) exceeding US$857 billion. We work with 13 of the world’s top‑15 private equity firms. Our services are underpinned by a Group-wide commitment to ESG and best‑in‑class technology including a global data platform and innovative proprietary tools supported by in‑house experts. Above all, what makes us different is our people. Operating as trusted partners to our clients, we deliver intelligent solutions through a combination of technical expertise and strong relationships based on deep client understanding. We’re driven by our Group purpose, to power people and possibilities. Job Description As a manager on our fund administration team, you’ll work directly with leading private equity clients, supporting fund operations, financial reporting, and investor communications under the guidance of our experienced team. You’ll oversee client deliverables, review complex fund calculations and financials, manage audits, train junior staff, and drive process improvements across multiple engagements. What You’ll Do You’ll lead client relationships across multiple Private Equity funds, ensuring expectations are met and timelines are followed. You’ll apply your understanding of limited partnership agreements to fund operations, reporting, and investor communications. You’ll prepare and review key financial components like journal entries, capital calls, distributions, and performance metrics such as IRR. You’ll manage audits, tax requests, and financial statement reviews while continuously improving operational processes. You’ll prioritize tasks, respond to client requests, and train junior team members to support team development and efficiency. What We Offer IQ‑EQ offers a comprehensive benefits package designed to support employees' well‑being and work‑life balance. Employees receive generous paid time off, including 4 weeks of PTO that increases over time, sick time and paid holidays, and financial wellness is supported through a 401(k) plan with a company match (subject to eligibility). Health benefits include medical, dental, vision, mental health support and additional ancillary insurance plans. Additional benefits include paid parental leave and a hybrid work schedule, promoting both personal and professional fulfillment. The salary for this position will be dependent on experience and location ($85,000–$120,000). Qualifications You bring over four years of progressive experience in private equity, public accounting, or a mix of both within alternative asset firms. You demonstrate strong analytical and technical skills in accounting, finance, and fund administration. You hold at least a Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance, giving you a solid foundation for your work. You consistently deliver exceptional client service, building trust and long‑term relationships. You apply your expertise to support complex fund operations and drive high‑quality outcomes. Additional Information Sustainability is integral to our strategy and operations. Our sustainability depends on us building and maintaining long‑term relationships with all our stakeholders – including our employees, clients, and local communities – while also reducing our impact on our natural environment. There is always more we can, and should do, to improve – whether in relation to our people, our clients, our planet, or our governance. Our ongoing success as a business depends on our sustainability and agility in a changing and challenging global landscape. We’re committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable and diverse culture for our people, led by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion steering committee. Our learning and development programmes and systems (including PowerU and MyCampus) enable us to invest in growing our employees’ careers, while our hybrid working approach supports our employees in achieving balance and flexibility while remaining connected to their colleagues. We want to empower our 6,500+ employees - from 94 nationalities, across 24 countries - to each achieve their potential. Through IQ‑EQ Launchpad we support women managers launching their first fund in an environment where only 15% of all private equity and venture capital firms are gender balanced. We’re committed to growing relationships with our clients and supporting them in achieving their objectives. We understand that our clients’ sustainability and success lead to our sustainability and success. We’re emotionally invested in our clients right from the beginning. #J-18808-Ljbffr IQ-EQ
