MTC Asset Management Hiring! Full Time Hedge Fund Accountant in Federal Territory - Ricebowl

Company Description

MTC Asset Management (M) Sdn. Bhd. is a Securities Commission Malaysia-licensed investment manager, established in 2012. The firm manages public equity absolute return strategies with a long-term track record of approximately 15% annualised returns.

Role Overview

We are a lean investment firm (5–10 people) seeking a hands-on and dependable Hedge Fund Accountant to support and take ownership of finance, fund operations, and compliance.

This is a full-spectrum role — from bookkeeping and bill payments to fund accounting and NAV calculations, including exposure to Cayman Islands and other offshore entities (bookkeeping and regulatory coordination). Suitable for candidates with strong accounting fundamentals who are keen to step into investment / fund operations.

You will work in a small, high-visibility team where senior management, including the CEO, is actively involved, and are expected to be reliable, detail-oriented, and able to work independently, while learning on the job.

Salary: RM5,500 – RM7,500 per month (commensurate with experience and ability to take ownership)

This role includes operational tasks such as processing payments and maintaining books — not purely reporting. Candidates seeking purely reporting or non-operational roles will not be suitable.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform NAV calculations, portfolio reconciliation, and fund accounting (training provided if needed)
• Manage investor onboarding (KYC/AML), subscriptions/redemptions, and reporting
• Handle full set of accounts, including bookkeeping, AP/AR, and payment of expenses (e.g. rent, vendors)
• Prepare financial reports and support management decision-making
• Coordinate audit, tax, and e-invoicing compliance
• Handle SSM filings, company secretarial matters (including offshore entities)
• Ensure compliance with Securities Commission Malaysia requirements
• Liaise with brokers, custodians, auditors, and regulators

Requirements

• Degree in Accounting/Finance; ACCA/CPA/ICAEW preferred
• 2–5 years’ experience in accounting / audit (financial services exposure is a plus, not required)
• Strong fundamentals in financial reporting and bookkeeping
• Detail-oriented, hands-on, and comfortable handling both operational and finance tasks
• Interest in learning fund accounting and investment operations

Why Join Us

• Opportunity to transition into fund / investment operations
• High ownership role with direct exposure to investment operations
• Broad exposure across finance, operations, and regulatory compliance
• Equipped with digital tools (e.g. dual-screen setup) to improve productivity
• Monthly allowance (RM400) to support medical and parking expenses
