4 weeks ago


Dublin, Ireland Opus Fund Services Full time

We like to shake things up and do things our own way At Opus, integrity isn't just a buzzword—it's the cornerstone of who we are. Challenging the status quo has not only helped us to evolve but also allowed us to continue to be independently owned while expanding across seven countries. We've carved out our own path to success, which is all about teamwork and curiosity. We love to question everything and try new things. And it seems our employees agree on our approach - we've earned the Great Place to Work certification in Canada, Philippines, Mauritius, Ireland, and the USA. We're on the lookout for people who share our beliefs and are as passionate about our values as we are.

As a Senior Portfolio Accountant, you will play a key role in managing the portfolio accounting aspects for our funds, ensuring accurate and timely setup, monitoring, and reporting of complex portfolio investments. A solid foundation in portfolio accounting across a wide range of investment strategies is essential for this role. Expertise with Private Equity or other alternative investment strategies is a plus, especially if you have worked with diverse and complex portfolio structures.

You will work closely with clients to understand their portfolio holdings supporting smooth onboarding and accurate asset transfers to the Operations team. This involves reviewing governing documents, performing portfolio-level reconciliations to ensure data accuracy and compliance, and resolving any challenges related to asset valuations, transactions, and reporting. You will also work with cross-functional teams to integrate portfolio details into our systems while maintaining the highest standard of service to our clients.

This role is ideal for someone with strong technical skills, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to problem-solving. Your work will directly contribute to delivering a smooth and efficient experience for our clients while supporting their success.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage the review and sometimes preparation of daily, monthly, and quarterly portfolio reports for implementation clients.
  • Import trade and cash activity into portfolio accounting systems for complex funds.
  • Ensure accurate portfolio pricing using data from market providers and third-party sources.
  • Review legal agreements for OTC investments (e.g., loans, private equity, fund-of-funds).
  • Analyze listed and OTC securities, broker statements, and web portals for required inputs.
  • Perform cash and position reconciliations, providing detailed commentary on discrepancies and resolving breaks promptly.
  • Post and review journal entries and follow all reconciliation controls and procedures.
  • Review portfolio reports accurately and on time. Jump in to assist with preparation when needed.
  • Take full ownership of assigned clients by proactively tracking deliverables and monitoring inputs via internal tools and client communications.

Process Development and Training:

  • Train junior staff on client deliverables and processes.
  • Crosstrain new processes to operations teams after initial implementation.
  • Investigate and review complex setups and securities.

Communication and Collaboration:

  • Conduct client kick-off calls and define deliverables clearly.
  • Hold regular and ad hoc meetings with clients, third parties and internal teams throughout the onboarding process.

Project Management:

  • Coordinate portfolio related project milestones and manage onboarding for large, complex relationships.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • Strong organizational and time-management skills with a commitment to accuracy and quality.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize effectively, and escalate issues when necessary.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related business field.
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience in the fund administration industry.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong client relationships.
  • Proficiency in MS Excel and Word.
