Augentius Fund Administration, the provider of fund administration services to the Private Equity and Property Fund sectors, has appointed Ian Kelly as a Partner to the firm.
Ian joined Augentius in August 2002 as a Senior Fund Accountant and has seen this once embryonic administration business turn itself into one of the worlds’ significant Private Equity fund administrators. He was appointed as Chief Operating Officer, Europe in 2006 following the MBO of the business.
“We only had a few clients when I joined the business and a total staff of 7” says Ian. “And just a few years later we have over 50 clients, 110 staff and are expanding the business globally. It is an amazing story, and the result of many years of hard work, but one I am very proud of”.
“Ian has made a very substantial contribution to the business” says J.P. Harrop, managing partner. “He has seen the business grow from a “good idea” into an international business. Ian has grown with Augentius and developed from his initial role into someone who is a recognised leader within the firm.”
“Ian’s technical knowledge of Private Equity and Property Fund accounting is second to none,” says Gavin Davies, managing partner. “He has made an enormous contribution to the business and we are very proud to appoint him as a Partner.”
