If you understand fund accounting and enjoy finding better ways to get things done, this role offers the opportunity to focus on change, automation and process improvement.

Our client, a global financial services organisation, is looking for someone to review fund accounting workflows, identify manual processes and work with technology teams to introduce practical improvements, including approved AI capabilities.

You’ll sit within Fund Accounting Operations, working closely with senior stakeholders and the change team. The role is primarily focused on change, with initial time spent learning the systems and client workflows, plus occasional BAU support when needed.

Responsibilities

• Map end-to-end fund accounting processes and identify bottlenecks, recurring exceptions and manual workarounds.

• Turn operational needs into clear requirements, process flows and test scenarios.

• Partner with technology teams to implement automation and incorporate approved AI tools into existing workflows.

• Ensure changes maintain strong controls, data quality and governance.

• Support UAT, production verification and rollout, including investigating issues and coordinating resolution.

• Update procedures, deliver walkthroughs and help operational teams adopt revised processes.

• Track the benefits of improvements, including time saved, fewer exceptions and reduced operational risk.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of the fund accounting lifecycle, including trade processing, security pricing, valuations, accruals, NAV and unit pricing.

• Experience in fund accounting, investment operations or business analysis/change within a relevant funds environment.

• Practical experience improving processes or supporting operational change through implementation.

• Strong analytical and Excel skills, with the ability to investigate issues and document clear requirements.

• Confidence working with operational teams, technology specialists and senior stakeholders.

• A proactive approach and willingness to question how existing processes could work better.

An experienced fund accountant looking to move further into change would suit this opportunity. We’re also interested in BAs and change analysts who understand fund accounting processes and can work confidently with operational specialists.

Experience with UAT, Australian unit trusts, superannuation, automation or AI tools would be valuable. You won’t be expected to develop AI solutions independently-technology partners will support the build.

Apply with your CV, highlighting your fund accounting knowledge and an example of a process improvement or change initiative you’ve delivered. If you want a confidential chat, please email me at alex.nguyen@talentinternational.com.
