Fund Accountant

This is not a back-office processing job. This is a front-line finance role sitting at the heart of some of the most sophisticated investment vehicles in the world — hedge funds, private equity, quant strategies and family offices — where what you produce directly drives investor decisions. If you’re an accountant who doesn’t just tick boxes but actually asks “why?”, this is where you level up.

The opportunity

A leading global investment platform is expanding its Glasgow operations and is hiring multiple Fund Accountants as part of a long-term growth strategy for 2026 and beyond.

You’ll own full end-to-end fund accounting for complex alternative investment structures — not just preparing numbers, but analysing them, challenging them and explaining them to demanding institutional clients.

You’ll be exposed to:

  • Hedge funds, private equity, quant and family office structures
  • Daily NAVs, full P&L and balance sheet ownership
  • Performance analysis, fee calculations and investor allocations
  • Direct interaction with clients and relationship managers
  • Global teams across the US, Europe and Asia

What you’ll be doing

You will take full responsibility for your own client portfolio, including:

  • Producing and reviewing daily Net Asset Values (NAVs)
  • Analysing P&L movements, reconciliations and trading activity
  • Reviewing capital activity and corporate actions
  • Preparing month-end P&L and balance sheets for client sign-off
  • Calculating and allocating management and performance fees
  • Producing investor-level reporting
  • Working with client relationship managers to resolve queries and support client initiatives

It’s hands-on, analytical, and fast-paced — perfect for people who enjoy getting under the hood of numbers rather than just processing them.

Who this suits:

We’re targeting ambitious accountants who want more than a safe, static role. You’ll fit if you are:

  • Part-qualified or fully qualified ACCA, CIMA or CA
  • Have a minimum of two years’ experience in accounts production, financial analysis or audit within practice, industry or financial services
  • Curious, commercially aware and not afraid to question numbers
  • Comfortable working to deadlines in a dynamic environment

Why people move here:

Because…

  • Exposure to elite global investment clients
  • Genuine technical depth and commercial relevance
  • Clear career progression in a growing international business
  • World-class training and development.
  • Study support for ACCA, CIMA or CA if part-qualified
  • A modern hybrid working model (3 days in, 2 from home)
