We are looking for a highly skilled and hands-on Manager in Fund Accounting to join our Private Equity and Real Estate Solutions (PERES) department. This role sits within a hybrid team supporting structures that combine UCITS-like features with alternative investment fund characteristics. It is not a pure people-management role: we need someone who combines strong technical expertise, close proximity to operations, direct client oversight, and the ability to support junior staff by actively contributing to day-to-day production when necessary.

The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring high-quality deliverables, maintaining client satisfaction, managing client requests when required, and guaranteeing compliance with internal processes and contractual frameworks.

Minimum Experience

  • At least 5 years of relevant experience in fund accounting, with exposure to alternative investment fund structures.


Key responsibilities

Operational and technical leadership

  • Drive and oversee complex technical topics in fund accounting.
  • Provide hands-on support, problem-solving, and decision-making for technical matters.
  • Perform detailed reviews of accounting files and NAV calculations, including complex elements such as performance fees, management fees, and waterfall models, before delivery to clients.
  • Ensure high-quality production, timely deliveries, and strict adherence to internal processes.
  • Participate in client calls, ensuring clear communication, process improvements, and technical explanations when needed.
  • Contribute to operational improvements and innovation across the team.
  • Participate in internal transformation and efficiency projects.


Client relationship and escalation

  • Act as an escalation point for clients and intermediaries.
  • Build strong, trust-based relationships with clients.
  • Lead client satisfaction and proactively anticipate client needs.
  • Maintain professionalism and clarity in all interactions.


Team support and coaching

  • Work closely with operational teams on a daily basis.
  • Support and mentor junior team members, especially during technical reviews.
  • Build a positive and collaborative team environment.
  • Motivate team members and provide guidance and direct support when challenges arise.
  • Contribute to the development of skills and expertise within the team.
  • Engage the team in continuous improvement initiatives.


Required skills and competencies

Technical Skills

  • Full mastery of the NAV calculation process, including:
    • Investor-side (liability) operations
    • Depositary-side (asset) operations
  • Expertise in standard and non-standard waterfall models and NAV per share calculations.
  • Strong understanding of standard and bespoke management fee models and variable fee calculations.
  • Ability to interpret and analyze legal documentation related to fund structures.
  • Solid understanding of alternative investment structures and their accounting implications.
  • Strong analytical and synthesis skills.
  • Excellent numerical proficiency and attention to detail.

Soft Skills

  • Highly organized, rigorous, and detail-oriented.
  • Ability to manage priorities with flexibility and composure.
  • Strong autonomy while being an effective team player.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills with both clients and internal stakeholders.
  • Sense of responsibility, initiative, and the ability to anticipate and react effectively.
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with evolving constraints.
  • Hands-on mindset: willing and able to assist operationally when needed, including with very junior team members.


Tools

  • Strong command of Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel.
  • Required knowledge of GP3/GPC (NeoXam).


Languages

  • Full professional proficiency in French and English.


What we are looking for

  • A manager who is both strategically minded and operationally engaged.
  • A professional who combines technical excellence, team proximity, ownership, and client leadership.
  • Someone who is equally comfortable reviewing complex files, coaching juniors, handling escalations, and speaking directly with clients.
