Senior Analyst

Position Summary

The Assurance Team operates from Amsterdam and plays a critical role in audit and assurance-related processes and reporting for our client’s funds and investors. Its primary responsibilities include overseeing and safeguarding both audited and unaudited quarterly financial reporting, ensuring the accuracy of financial statements and capital accounts provided to investors. The team also provides accounting treatment guidance and support to the Investment Accounting Department, reinforcing the integrity of financial practices within the firm.

Another key responsibility is managing the organization’s ISAE 3402 Type II Report, ISAE 3000 Report, and Sarbanes-Oxley (SoX) controls. By maintaining a strong control environment, the team ensures accurate and timely execution of processes that align with industry best practices.

Reporting directly to the CFO, the Assurance Team upholds a robust financial assurance framework that reinforces transparency, compliance, and accountability across the firm. As the client and product base continues to expand, the team is growing to meet the increasing demands of fund reporting under IFRS, US GAAP, Dutch GAAP and Lux GAAP, as well as associated audits and the evolving control environment.

In this role, you will work closely with all teams across the organization, gaining broad exposure to the entire private equity lifecycle—from fundraising and investor onboarding to the investment process, portfolio analysis, and reporting. You will build strong relationships with external auditors, oversee fund audits and the firm’s control environment, and help enhance the scalability of systems and tools to accommodate continued growth in investors and product offerings. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the firm’s expansion while developing deep expertise in private equity operations and financial assurance.

Primary responsibilities

• The role includes acting as the main point of contact for both external and internal auditors, ensuring smooth communication and efficient audit processes.
• You will critically assess and improve investment fund financial statements and capital accounts under US GAAP, IFRS, Lux GAAP and Dutch GAAP.
• In addition, you will act as a sparring partner for the business and the Investment Accounting team on accounting treatment, disclosure and control-related matters, while maintaining and enhancing the firm’s internal control environment, including ISAE 3402 reporting, SOX controls, and the Policy & Procedure Manual.
• You will support the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual portfolio reporting for investors and proactively participate in strategic and ad-hoc projects alongside the CFO and other teams.
• Furthermore, you will contribute to the automation and streamlining of assurance-related processes to improve scalability and efficiency.

Requirements

• Candidates should have a CA, CPA or RA qualification (or equivalent), or a Master’s degree in Finance or Accounting with above-average academic results.
• You should bring at least three years of relevant experience, either within an audit firm or in a role that involves close collaboration with auditors.
• A strong command of English is essential, while Dutch is not required.
• Solid knowledge of US GAAP and/or IFRS is expected, as well as a clear understanding of effective internal control frameworks.
• Practical experience with Excel, Power Pivots, Macros, Power BI, and other data analysis tools is a strong advantage.

The ideal candidate combines analytical and technical expertise with creativity and attention to detail. You are a proactive and structured team player who enjoys working in an international environment and can think strategically as well as pragmatically. You are able to challenge constructively, communicate effectively, and contribute to the continuous improvement of financial assurance processes within a growing global investment organization.
