What is the team responsible for?

Founded in 2002, Alcentra is one of the largest European headquartered credit and private debt managers, with over $35 billion of assets under management and global expertise in Senior Secured Loans, High Yield Bonds, Private Credit, Structured Credit, Special Situations and Multi-Strategy credit.

Alcentra’s objective is to deliver strong, risk-adjusted returns that are less correlated, through a complementary suite of traditional and alternative credit strategies. In pursuing this objective, the investment strategy and approach to credit selection are based on intensive fundamental research and credit analysis, combined with active portfolio management to minimize credit losses.

The Alcentra Direct Lending Operations and Fund Accounting team are looking for an experienced and highly motivated fund accountant to join the team.  The scope of the role is broad and will be suitable to someone who wants to build on their fund accounting and/or fund control experience and contribute towards the continued growth of the strategy. The successful applicant will primarily be involved with fund accounting activities on the core fund LP/GP structures but there is also the opportunity for involvement in the wide range of other activities that the Direct Lending Operations team is responsible for

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team and gain experience on a wide range of fund structures and financial instruments within the rapidly growing Direct Lending space.
