Director – Fund Accounting, Treasury & Compliance | Boutique Multi-Jurisdiction Investment Platform (UAE)

A fast-growing, founder-led investment and advisory platform (current AUM ~USD 800M, with a clear roadmap toward USD 2B+) is looking to hire a Director – Fund Accounting, Treasury & Compliance to anchor its finance function across jurisdictions.

The firm operates a sophisticated, multi-entity structure spanning Abu Dhabi (ADGM), Dubai (DMCC), Mauritius, Singapore and Mumbai, with a sharp focus on India-linked strategies, cross-border structuring and curated access to public and private markets.

• Manage daily cash‑flow, liquidity planning, bank balances and short‑term deployments across entities and currencies.
• Oversee FX, payment settlements and treasury operations across India, UAE, Mauritius and other locations.
• Coordinate closely with custodians, fund administrators, prime brokers, auditors and tax advisors to resolve breaks and close books on time.
• Design and run robust MIS for the Founder and leadership: AUM, P&L, risk, treasury and capital‑usage dashboards.
• Strengthen internal controls and risk‑management frameworks to safeguard assets and ensure clean audit and regulatory outcomes.
• Support and oversee regulatory filings, inspections and ongoing obligations for ADGM, Mauritius and Indian entities.
• Partner with business leaders on new product / fund launches, cross-border structures and capital‑efficiency initiatives.

• 8–15 years of experience in fund accounting, investment management or capital markets finance, with clear exposure to funds, platforms or family offices.
• Strong grounding in mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity or similar pooled vehicles, including NAV and treasury flows.
• Background with fund administrators, custody banks, capital markets platforms or asset managers.
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting or related field; professional qualifications such as CA, CPA, ACCA or CFA preferred.
• Strong knowledge of accounting standards, fund operations and regulatory frameworks.
• High proficiency in Excel and comfort with fund accounting / portfolio accounting systems.
• Demonstrated ability to operate in lean, high‑ownership, boutique or entrepreneurial environments (not just large, siloed corporates).
• Prior exposure to Indian capital markets and cross‑border transactions is a strong advantage.
• Mature, hands‑on, solution‑oriented; able to work directly with founders and senior global advisors.

• Base: UAE (Abu Dhabi / Dubai).
• Close collaboration with teams in Mumbai and Mauritius, plus external partners in other jurisdictions.
• Lean, senior team with direct access to decision‑makers and the opportunity to build institutional‑grade finance and treasury for a growing global platform.
