An established investment group is looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to join its Sydney team.

This is not a role where you’ll sit purely within fund reporting. You’ll work closely with senior leadership, investment and asset management teams, taking ownership across both fund finance and the operational finance of the broader business.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys being in the detail, close to the assets and involved in what is happening across the business.
The Role

You will be responsible for:

  • Managing financial reporting across funds, trusts, SPVs and corporate entities, including month-end, management reporting and financial statements.
  • Overseeing fund accounting, cash flow, distributions, capital movements, budgets and forecasting.
  • Taking ownership of the broader day-to-day finance operations of the business, rather than operating solely as a fund accountant.
  • Working closely with the investment and asset management teams on acquisitions, transactions, asset performance and financial analysis.
  • Managing tax, audit, compliance and statutory reporting requirements while coordinating with external advisers.
  • Improving financial processes, systems, reporting and controls as the business continues to grow.

About You
We’re looking for someone with:

  • 6+ years' experience across finance/accounting.
  • Previous experience within funds, investment management, private equity, property investment or a similar environment.
  • Strong operational accounting experience alongside your fund exposure.
  • CA or CPA qualification – essential.
  • Strong financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting and cash-flow management capability.
  • Experience working across multiple entities, trusts or investment structures.
  • The ability to operate in a smaller, hands-on environment where you will be expected to get into the detail.
  • Sage experience highly regarded.
  • Commercial office experience highly desirable. 

The Opportunity

This is a great opportunity for someone coming from a fund, investment manager or similar business who wants broader exposure and more ownership.

You’ll be close to senior decision-makers, investments and the underlying assets, with the opportunity to have a genuine impact on how the finance function operates and develops.
