First-line review over the day-to-day fund administration deliverables for your clients — accuracy, controls and the evidence trail behind client assurance.
About the role
Oban Academy is a middle-office outsourcing partner delivering Fund Administration, Corporate Treasury, FP&A and Digital Solutions from Mauritius, Madagascar and India. As a Fund Administration Analyst you provide the first line of review over the day-to-day deliverables for your assigned clients — checking accuracy, maintaining controls, and building the evidence trail that underpins client assurance.
Key responsibilities
Fund accounting & quality control
- Produce fund accounting outputs — NAV, reconciliations, capital activity and payment instructions — to defined standards.
- Check the completeness and accuracy of inputs (bank statements, broker/custodian files, trade data); log discrepancies and escalate items outside tolerance.
- Maintain the quality-control checklist and the audit evidence trail behind client assurance.
Reconciliation & deliverables support
- Support NAV, capital calls, distributions and redemptions by verifying calculations.
- Assist with three-way cash and position reconciliations, and prepare draft payment instructions and investor statements for review.
Records, data & client knowledge
- Keep client, transaction and statutory records accurate, filed and version-controlled.
- Build working knowledge of your client entities, fund structures and regulatory deadlines, and suggest process improvements.
Requirements
- Degree in Accounting, Finance, Business or a related discipline — final-year students and recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
- 0–2 years in fund administration, accounting or financial services (internships count).
- Part-progress towards ACCA, ACA or CFA is an advantage, but not required at this level.
- Proficient in Excel, Word and Outlook, and comfortable adopting new digital and AI-enabled tools.
What we’re looking for
- Attention to detail — methodical and precise, with a zero-tolerance approach to data errors.
- Analytical ability — able to interpret financial data and spot discrepancies against expectations.
- Adaptability — comfortable working alongside AI-driven processes and evolving workflows.
- Ownership — reliable and organised, managing your own workload against daily deadlines.
