A Single Family Office based in Hong Kong is seeking a capable individual to join the Finance and Operations team. This is a key role for a professional who enjoys a hybrid mix of financial reporting, investment operations, and system improvement projects to support a dynamic multi-asset investment platform.

Your New Role

1. Investment Operations & Trade Support

• • Trade Lifecycle: Independently handle the full settlement process for equities, bonds, and funds; communicate directly with custodians and prime brokers to resolve trade breaks and related matters.
  • Shadow Accounting: Maintain internal "shadow" records of investment positions to cross-check against bank statements, ensuring accuracy in performance reporting.
  • Private Equity Administration: Support the Investment Team by managing the operational side of PE deals—handling subscription documents, KYC/AML requests, capital calls, and distribution processing.
  • PRC Cross-Border Ops: Assist in the funding and operational management of PRC subsidiaries/investments, ensuring compliance with cross-border regulations (e.g., SAFE registration, FDI filings, WFOE capital injection).

2. Financial Reporting & Accounting

• • Handle the full set of accounts for various entities (HK, PRC, BVI, Cayman Islands), including AP/AR, general ledger maintenance, and bank reconciliations.
  • Liaise with external auditors and tax representatives to ensure smooth annual audits and tax filings.

3. System Implementation & Projects

• • System Rollout: Assist the Finance Manager in implementing new Portfolio Management Systems. Responsibilities include data migration, UAT testing, and parallel running.
  • Process Improvement: Identify bottlenecks in payment processing or expense management and suggest automation solutions.

What You'll Need to Succeed

• • Experience:
  • Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience. A hybrid background of Corporate Accounting and Fund Accounting/Operations is highly preferred. Experience in a Family Office, Fund Administrator, or Buy-Side Asset Manager is ideal.
  • Technical Knowledge:
  • CPA/ACCA qualification is highly preferred, proficient in accounting software (e.g., Flex) and advanced MS Excel skills are required for data consolidation.
  • Solid understanding of PRC investment practices (e.g., RMB settlement, QFII/WFOE structures, cross-border funding).
  • Experience with Portfolio Management/Investment Systems (e.g., Bloomberg, Addepar, or similar) is a strong plus.
  • Soft Skills:
  • Ownership: Ability to work independently with minimal supervision; comfortable negotiating with external service providers (Bankers, Auditors, Lawyers).
  • Agility: Willingness to handle both high-level strategic projects and hands-on operational tasks.
  • Language: Fluency in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English.

What You'll Get in Return

• • Opportunity to work closely with the Investment Team on strategic projects.
  • Broad exposure to diverse asset classes (Private Equity, Direct Investment, Public Markets).
  • A stable, work-life balance environment with a collaborative team culture.
