OUR IMPACT
Controllers ensure that the firm meets all the financial control and reporting obligations of a global, regulated, and public financial institution. Our professionals measure the profitability of, and risks associated with, every aspect of the firm's business. Controllers also ensure that the firm's activities are conducted in compliance with the regulations governing transactions in the financial markets.
As contact with virtually every part of the firm is essential to Controllers, professionals in the department experience Goldman Sachs businesses, products and sophisticated technology systems in depth.
The AWM Fund Controllers team is responsible for the oversight of the accounting for the AWM offshore funds, managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management (“GSAM”). The team has responsibility for both public and private funds domiciled across Europe. The fund accounting function for these GSAM funds is outsourced to various Fund Administrators, predominantly in Europe but leveraging the Administrators’ outsourced models, utilising various different GAAPs. Team responsibilities include Net Asset Value (NAV) review and approval of daily pricing funds, expense budgeting, financial statement reporting, audit management, regulatory reporting and involvement in the other product lifecycle events such as fund launches and closures or working on the new product approval process. The team interacts closely with all internal teams connected with the AWM business, as well as with the external vendors, principally the Administrators and Auditors.
YOUR IMPACT
Your role as a Fund Controller will allow you to develop an in depth understanding of offshore fund structures, accounting and process. You will have opportunities to contribute to various fund driven projects as well as participate in various industry initiatives and technical accounting reviews.
In addition to joining the Fund Controller team, you will assist in the Capital and Financial Management Oversight function performed by the Irish domiciled Fund Management Company and Alternative Investment Fund Manager (“management company” or “AIFM”).

You will engage with various teams to ensure that finance related delegated services are operating effectively, both at the legal entity and the fund level, focusing on areas such as valuation, financial control, and tax and regulatory reporting.
