Why Fund Accounting
Build your career in one of the world's fastest-growing financial industries
Fund Accounting is the backbone of the global investment management industry. Every investment fund — mutual, hedge, private equity or real estate — relies on fund accountants to maintain accurate financial records, calculate Net Asset Value (NAV), prepare investor reports and ensure regulatory compliance.
Today, the global investment industry manages over USD 120 trillion in Assets Under Management, with alternative investments expected to exceed USD 30 trillion in the coming years. As new investment funds are launched worldwide, the demand for skilled fund accounting professionals continues to rise.
