Fund accountant

Fund Accountant

Client: Confidential.

Location: Singapore

The Opportunity

Our client is a diversified maritime group centred on ship owning, with businesses spanning drybulk shipping operations and shipping fund investment. They are looking to hire a Fund Accountant in Singapore to run day-to-day accounting across the fund and vessel-owning entities.

Key Responsibilities

Prepare the full set of accounts for the fund and vessel-owning SPVs, including monthly close, P&L, and balance sheet

Maintain balance sheet accuracy across entities, including vessel carrying values, loan balances, intercompany positions, accruals, and cash reconciliations

Account for vessel assets through the full lifecycle: acquisition, capitalisation, depreciation and residual values, dry-docking costs, impairment support, and disposals

Prepare NAV calculations and investor reporting for the shipping fund, including capital calls and distributions

Maintain accounting for ship mortgages and other vessel financing, including drawdowns, repayments, covenant reporting, and interest schedules

Reconcile voyage and charter hire revenue, bunker costs, and opex with the operations and chartering teams

Handle multi-currency accounting across USD-functional entities

Support audit, tax filings, and bank reporting across Hong Kong and Singapore

Assist with consolidation and management reporting to group leadership

Requirements

2 to 4 years of accounting experience gained in a shipowner, ship manager, ship leasing platform, or another asset-heavy business, or in audit with shipping, leasing, or real asset clients

A genuine command of the balance sheet and strong double-entry fundamentals, with the ability to investigate and resolve reconciliation breaks independently

Exposure to fixed asset accounting is essential; direct experience with vessels, dry-dock component accounting, or ship finance is a strong advantage

Candidates from fund administration will be considered where they have worked on maritime, infrastructure, or other real asset fund structures rather than purely fee-based NAV production

Degree in Accountancy or equivalent; CA or CPA part-qualified or qualified preferred

Fluent Mandarin is required, as the role works closely with Chinese-speaking counterparties across the group, banks, and shipyards

High attention to detail and the willingness to learn quickly in a lean team spanning fund, SPV, and group-level work
