The posting

Location: Claremont, Cape Town (hybrid, with travel to regional offices)

Sector: Private Equity / Fund Management

Our client is an established pan-African private equity fund manager with offices in South Africa, East and West Africa and Mauritius. It manages institutional capital across a growing portfolio and is about to take on a significant new strategic initiative.

They're looking for a Senior Financial Reporting Accountant to own financial reporting and fund accounting across the funds and group entities. Most of the work sits within the Mauritian financial services framework, alongside other African jurisdictions. You'll work directly with institutional investors, auditors, regulators and the deal teams, in a small senior team where your work is visible and matters.

This role suits a qualified accountant who has done the fund work hands-on (NAVs, capital calls, investor reporting, audits) and wants more ownership and broader exposure.

Responsibilities

Financial reporting and controls

  • Prepare and review IFRS annual financial statements and quarterly management accounts for funds and group entities
  • Oversee reporting and controls across the regional offices

Fund accounting and operations

  • Own core fund accounting: NAV calculations, capital calls, distributions, liquidity and treasury across multi-layered fund structures

Regulatory and tax compliance

  • Keep the funds compliant with Mauritian regulation (FSC, Securities Act, Financial Services Act), tax obligations, LPAs, side letters and advisory agreements

Audit and investor relations

  • Run the external audit end to end across fund entities
  • Deliver quarterly investor reporting packs and handle investor queries

Transaction and portfolio support

  • Support deal teams on structuring, tax efficiency, valuations and portfolio-company reporting

Team

  • Mentor and give technical support to the wider finance team

Requirements

Essential

  • CA(SA), ACCA, ICAEW or equivalent professional accounting qualification
  • Degree in Accounting, Finance or a related field
  • 7–10 years in private equity, asset management, fund administration or financial services, including at least 3 years in a senior finance or fund accounting role
  • Strong IFRS reporting
  • Hands-on cash flow forecasting, liquidity management and capital event execution (calls and distributions)
  • Advanced Excel
  • Willing to travel to regional offices

Advantageous

  • Knowledge of the Mauritian fund regulatory environment (FSC, MRA, Bank of Mauritius)
  • Experience in offshore fund administration (e.g. Mauritius, Guernsey, Jersey, Cayman, Luxembourg)
  • Investran or similar fund accounting platform
  • Exposure to development finance institution (DFI) investors or donor-funded facilities

Qualitative fit

  • Meticulous: you find the number that doesn't tie before the auditors do
  • Comfortable influencing stakeholders across several jurisdictions
  • Clear, precise writing, especially for investor reporting
  • Takes ownership in a small team without waiting to be asked

Benefits

Package: competitive, depending on qualifications and experience.

The client's identity will be shared with shortlisted candidates.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
