What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fund accounting role where I can own NAV and performance deliverables end-to-end, ensure US GAAP accuracy, and keep improving processes—while leading a team to deliver high-quality reconciliations, audits, and investor reporting.

I oversee fund accounting and fund operations across hedge funds and fund of funds structures, owning NAV production, capital activity, trade processing, portfolio valuation, reconciliations, and management/incentive fee calculations. I also prepare and review reporting packages, including NAV Reports, performance estimates, and capital statements.

I manage complex operations such as quarterly side-pocket accounting, special partner allocations, and investor reporting requirements. I coordinate year-end audits and prepare financial statements, footnote disclosures, and fair value analysis in accordance with US GAAP.

I co-manage a team, providing training, review, and quality control, and I lead process improvements by developing standardized workpapers and reporting templates to enhance operational efficiency. Earlier in my career, I supported month-end close and general ledger work under US GAAP and IFRS, and I handled bookkeeping, K-1 preparation support, and compliance-related filings for clients.
