Job description

Harper May is partnering with a single-family office based in central London, managing a substantial multi-asset portfolio on behalf of its principal and their family. The business has evolved from a private investment vehicle into a full-service family office, overseeing investment activity across private equity, venture capital, credit and alternatives, alongside property, hospitality and a broader base of physical assets. With assets under management approaching $500m to $1bn and a complex structure spanning multiple international jurisdictions, the finance function is now scaling in step with the group and a Financial Controller is being appointed to own the numbers end to end.

The Role
Reporting to the Head of Finance and Operations and working alongside a lean in-house team, the Financial Controller will take full ownership of the group reporting across the property portfolio, investment holdings and operating entities. The role suits a technically strong, fully qualified accountant looking for a broad, hands-on family office remit with genuine intellectual variety. It is a mature, well-structured environment with reasonable hours and a lean team where accountability sits close to the numbers.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the month-end close and consolidated reporting across a complex multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction structure
  • Take responsibility for the property and property holding company reporting, and the wider group reporting across investment holdings and operating entities
  • Manage the relationships with outsourced bookkeeping, tax and administrative providers
  • Own cash management, intercompany balances and treasury reporting across the group
  • Strengthen financial controls, policies and processes across the finance function
  • Support statutory reporting, tax compliance and the annual audit across all jurisdictions in scope
  • Partner with the Head of Finance and Operations on planning, forecasting and process improvement
  • Contribute to the ongoing build-out of the finance function as the group continues to grow

What we are looking for

  • Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or foreign equivalent)
  • Strong technical accounting foundation with experience in a multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction environment
  • Prior experience in a family office, investment firm, property, or professional services background is preferred
  • Comfortable owning close, consolidation and statutory reporting end to end
  • Confident partnering with senior stakeholders and external advisors across a complex group structure
  • Hands-on, well organised, and comfortable operating in a small team with real ownership from day one
