HEAD OF FINANCE PE & INVESTMENT CONTROLLING - BOUTIQUE AIFM - NT707
Our client is a Luxembourg-based regulated AIFM and boutique private equity fund-of-funds manager serving institutional and professional investors. The Luxembourg office manages approximately $1.5 billion across different funds with a new one to be launched in 2027. The core finance, fund accounting, investment controlling and investor reporting activities are performed in-house, creating direct exposure to end investors and senior decision-makers.
This new created role reports directly to the MD and leads a small team of accountants and investment controllers. It is designed for an alternative finance professional who has mastered accounting and now wants to operate in a broader financial role. As you establish yourself, the role will increasingly focus on leadership, investment controlling and broader finance matters - moving beyond accounting into analytical, investor-facing and cross-functional responsibilities across the AIFM.

  • Review capital calls and distributions from underlying private equity investments and to the investors
  • Plan and manage the audit process for the funds and the AIFM
  • Apply fund legal documentation in the context of accounting, investment monitoring and fund administration

  • Oversee reporting on investments
  • Respond to investor, prospective investor, sales and management requests

  • Develop finance, valuation and investment-monitoring policies and support the management company with accounting and budgeting
  • Lead systems, automation and process-improvement initiatives, collaborating closely with portfolio management, risk, sales and other AIFM teams

  • The willingness and credibility to operate as both a leader and an individual contributor in a boutique environment.
