About Pinnacle Investment Management

Pinnacle Investment Management Group Limited (ASX:PNI) is a leading Australian-based multi-affiliate investment management firm. Our mission is to establish, grow and support a diverse stable of world-class investment management firms.

Pinnacle currently consists of nineteen investment management firms that collectively manage over £110 billion in assets across a diverse range of asset classes. Our affiliated managers operate autonomously, in line with our philosophy that 'supported independence' is an essential ingredient in sustaining investment excellence and business resilience over the long term.

This is a newly created role, an expansion of our global team.  This role would suit someone who thrives in a fast-paced working environment and can work independently and contribute culturally to our expanding London-based presence.

Cultural points:

• We offer a flexible, collaborative and supportive working environment
• We have a development-oriented culture with a focus on learning
• We are a well-established business offering stability and growth
• Our Values of Excellence, Honesty and Integrity, Innovation and Empowerment guide our actions and areas of focus
• We offer a genuine opportunity to make a difference through a very flat operating structure, with direct access to senior management

About the Role

You will work closely with our affiliated fund managers and internal stakeholders, delivering real value through clear judgement, strong execution and the ability to manage competing priorities through others while staying personally accountable for outcomes. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Production of accurate and timely management reporting
• FCA regulatory reporting and monitoring
• Development and delivery of forecast models
• Lead the day-to-day finance function, managing workflows and stakeholders across payroll, VAT, AP and AR, while remaining close enough to the detail to step in and execute hands-on where needed
• Continual review and improvement of business processes, identifying what matters most and implementing practical changes that increase control, efficiency and scalability
• Preparation of statutory accounts and management of audit process
• Offshore fund financial management and monitoring including budgets and forecasts
• Delivery of insightful financial analysis
• Ad hoc financial analysis and scenario planning

About You

You will have a track record of operating at a high level in demanding environments, with the judgement, pace and ownership mindset to lift standards and deliver outcomes. This role will appeal to a high-calibre finance professional who is equally comfortable setting direction, managing priorities and stakeholders, and getting their hands dirty in the detail when the work requires it. You will have a deep understanding of evolving technologies and bring insights into how it can improve efficiencies and collaboration across the business. In order to do so, you will need:

• CA/CIMA qualification
• Outstanding critical thinking, analytical rigour and a bias for action
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• In-depth understanding of business processes, with the pragmatism to improve them and the willingness to get into the detail personally when needed
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
• Demonstrated ability to lead workstreams, manage stakeholders and develop others, while remaining hands-on and accountable for the quality and timeliness of delivery
• Financial services/fund management experience desirable
• Must have rights to work in the UK
