It was announced today that financial services provider, Apex Fund Services will be creating 50 new jobs at the opening of its new expanded offices in Carrigtwohill, Co. Cork today.

The Apex Group acquired Deutsche Bank’s Alternative Fund Services business in October 2017, adding €170 billion to Apex’s assets under administration. It is expected that Apex will also expand its headcount in Dublin and Sligo going forward.
The firm is actively recruiting experienced professionals and graduates in corporate finance, accounting and commerce to fill roles in the Cork. Given the location of the new offices in East Cork on the N25 motorway, the company is particularly targeting graduates from Waterford Institute of Technology, Cork Institute of Technology and University College Cork.
Speaking at the opening of the new offices, Apex Fund Services (Ireland) Managing Director, Bryan Atkinson said, "Ireland is one of the world’s largest financial hubs and an extremely important service centre for Apex, with offices in Cork, Dublin and Sligo. With Brexit looming, more and more managers are looking to the Irish funds industry for stability and we are in the perfect position to service that business. Apex Ireland employs a dynamic team and provides a unique opportunity for those interested in working in the financial services sector, to learn and gain invaluable experience at a global business."
He added, "We have invested in the new office for our Cork team to support this ongoing expansion as we look to increase headcount here in the coming 12- 18 months. It’s an exciting time for Apex and for the Irish employee population, providing more room for progression and exposure to learning new products as we expand."
