@brindamodi

I lead fund accounting, close, reporting, and process improvements across private equity and investment management.

At Fidelity Investments and HomeTap, I lead accounting operations, monthly close, financial reporting, audit support, and control compliance across business units, private equity funds, and SPVs. At HomeTap, I reduced the fund reporting cycle from 60 days to 30 days.

I’ve managed investment company accounting, fund financial statements, capital activity, valuations, treasury workflows, and ERP implementation from QuickBooks to NetSuite. I bring hands-on experience with GAAP, IFRS, consolidations, Oracle, NetSuite, Excel automation, and cross-functional finance partnerships.
