Role: Fund Accounting Analyst

Department: Finance

Location: Dublin

We are looking for a sharp, dynamic individual to join our Fund Accounting team as a Fund Accounting Analyst. The Fund Accounting team is responsible for maintaining the books and records for over 35 of Millennium’s entities and for calculating both the official AUM and rates of return of the fund. In doing so, we strive to provide highly accurate data that is used as the basis for our audited financial statements and investor reporting. Day-to-day you will work hands on with the other members of the Fund Accounting team and the broader finance department, as well as other groups within Millennium, to close the books on a timely basis, send out returns and work on special projects to improve processes and controls.

Ideally, you will have experience in public or private accounting working with hedge fund clients, or corporate accounting familiarity, as we would like you to assist with accounting analysis and management reporting. This role demands a keen attention to detail and the ability to multitask when it comes to competing priorities. Our firm works at an extremely fast pace, and we are looking for someone who thrives in an ever-evolving environment where an impact can be made. If this sounds like the right opportunity at this juncture in your career, we’d love to hear from you.
