What I'm looking for

I’m looking for fund accounting or financial reporting roles where I can own partnership allocations, compliance, and capital call/distribution workflows, partner with stakeholders, and deliver accurate statements under tight deadlines.

I’m a Senior Associate at Standish Management (01/24–Present), preparing financial statements for multiple domestic and offshore fund families, including updating portfolio investment schedules and partner equity allocations. I analyze complex investment transactions, support the internal semi-annual portfolio review process, and monitor compliance with complex partnership agreements. I also determine cash needs of partnerships, initiate capital calls, electronically distribute financials and K1-related notices, and respond to limited partner requests.

Previously, I served as a Senior Fund Accountant at SS&C&ALPS (08/21–12/23), where I oversaw journal entries and general ledger maintenance, performed bank reconciliations, and prepared capital calls, distributions notices, and financial statement footnotes. I maintained a working knowledge of limited partnership agreements to apply income and expense allocations correctly, produced management reports, and reviewed the work of cash operations and financial reporting analysts. Earlier roles included Operations Accountant at MUFG Capital Analytics (06/19–08/21) and a Private Fund Accountant internship at Blue River Partners (08/18–06/19), plus accounting experience at United Parcel Service (10/17–08/18) and volunteer tax preparation (01/15–05/17), supported by an MBA from the University of Dallas (2019) and accounting-focused degrees from Wilmington University and Delaware Technical College.
