Job description
Dublin, Ireland | Hybrid – 3 days office / 2 days home | Permanent
Fund Accounting | Private Equity | Investran | Data Migration & Reconciliations
Auricoe is partnering with a leading global fund administration and investment services organisation to appoint a Manager – Private Assets Onboarding & Integration to its growing Dublin operation.
This is an opportunity for an experienced Private Assets Fund Accountant or Fund Integration specialist to play a hands-on role in onboarding sophisticated institutional investment funds, transferring complex historical financial data and ensuring the accurate migration of fund accounting records onto Investran.
We are particularly interested in professionals who combine strong fund accounting expertise with exceptional data analysis and reconciliation skills — individuals who enjoy investigating discrepancies, untangling complicated financial records and getting to the bottom of why numbers don't reconcile.
Your responsibilities
- Lead the financial data onboarding and integration of private equity and other private asset funds, including transitions from incumbent administrators and self-administered structures.
- Extract, cleanse, map, transform and validate complex historical fund accounting data from multiple sources.
- Work extensively with Investran, ensuring accurate migration and integration of fund accounting records.
- Reconstruct historical transactions, investigate unexplained balances and resolve discrepancies between underlying activity, accounting records and financial statements.
- Perform detailed general ledger reconciliations, chart of accounts mapping, data validation and financial controls testing.
- Work with ETL processes, data conversion methodologies and migration testing to ensure data integrity and operational readiness.
- Liaise with fund controllers, finance teams and institutional clients to investigate accounting inconsistencies and resolve outstanding data queries.
- Support the successful transition of funds into business-as-usual administration, ensuring robust controls and accurate financial reporting.
Skills & experience
- Approximately 5+ years' experience in private equity, private assets fund accounting, fund administration or fund onboarding/integration.
- Essential: Strong hands-on experience with Investran, ideally involving fund accounting, historical data conversions or onboarding.
- Excellent understanding of private asset fund structures, general ledger accounting, capital activity, financial statements and reconciliations.
- Proven ability to manipulate, investigate and reconcile large, complex financial datasets.
- Experience of fund migrations, data mapping, chart of accounts conversions, ETL processes or systems integration.
- Strong analytical skills and a meticulous, investigative approach to resolving financial discrepancies.
- The confidence to work independently, challenge incomplete or inconsistent data and engage directly with fund controllers and other stakeholders.
- Above all, we're looking for someone with the mindset of a forensic accountant: someone who can take years of fragmented financial data, identify what's missing, explain why balances don't reconcile and work through the detail until the numbers are right.
