A Fund Accountant manages the financial activities of an investment portfolio or fund. You might monitor financial transactions and analyse the fund’s performance. Fund Accountants may prepare reports or information and make recommendations on future strategies. You’ll ensure the fund is complying with relevant requirements.
Fund Accountants should have strong analytical abilities and be able to make accurate forecasts. It’s important you have excellent attention to detail and can follow correct procedures. Fund Accountants must be able to communicate well with a range of stakeholders. You’ll need to be organised and able to manage your time well.
In Australia, a full time Fund Accountant generally earns $1,630 per week ($84,760 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only.
