Finance & reconciliation professional delivering risk-aware, audit-ready accuracy across fund operations.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a finance professional with 4+ years of high-stakes experience in financial reconciliation, operational risk management, regulatory compliance, forensic data analysis, and fund accounting within investment banking and hedge fund environments.
I’m known for detecting anomalies, investigating financial discrepancies through root-cause analysis, and mitigating operational risk by enforcing internal controls across complex, multi-asset portfolios. I translate financial data into actionable intelligence to support FP&A, budgeting, and strategic planning.
In my current role, I perform end-to-end daily cash and position reconciliations across 15+ hedge fund portfolios, validate and amend trades in Geneva, and support month-end NAV reporting through trial balance validation and sub-ledger alignment—keeping books fully reconciled and audit-ready for internal and external scrutiny.
