Job Description

Looking for flexibility, autonomy, and meaningful work without the corporate noise? This is a rare opportunity for an experienced finance professional who thrives when trusted to get the job done.

We're partnering with two established venue capital investment businesses seeking a highly organised Operations Associate to support a portfolio of investment entities. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working independently, values flexibility, and takes pride in delivering high-quality work without constant supervision. You'll work directly with the directors in a high-trust environment where outcomes matter far more than office hours.

What you'll be doing:

• Managing accounting records, reconciliations, journals, and cash tracking across multiple entities
• Preparing management accounts and supporting year-end financial processes
• Handling VAT, PAYE, provisional tax, and related statutory submissions
• Managing CIPC filings, company secretarial administration, and compliance requirements
• Maintaining investment records, legal documentation, and data rooms
• Supporting reporting processes and identifying opportunities to improve systems and efficiencies

What we're looking for:

• 3–8 years' experience in accounting, finance operations, or fund/investment administration
• Strong practical accounting and tax experience
• Exposure to company secretarial or compliance functions
• Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities independently
• Someone who takes initiative and naturally looks for ways to improve processes

The ideal person:

This role suits someone who enjoys working quietly and independently.  Perhaps you're looking to step away from a traditional corporate environment, perhaps you've built strong technical skills and now want greater control over how you structure your day or maybe you're simply looking for a role where you're trusted to deliver without being micro-managed.

What's in it for you?

• Genuine flexibility around working hours and location
• Hybrid, remote, or office-based options considered
• High-trust, low-politics environment
• Direct exposure to investment businesses and entrepreneurs
• Opportunity to contribute ideas and improve processes
• Stable, long-term role with meaningful responsibility

If you're a self-starter who enjoys ownership, flexibility, and working with smart people who value results over presenteeism, we'd love to hear from you.
