What I'm looking for

I seek a role in fund accounting or operations where I can lead teams, improve processes, manage NAV and valuations, work with complex derivatives, and grow into broader managerial responsibilities within a collaborative, high-performance culture.

I am a highly motivated hedge fund accounting team lead with over three years of experience managing meticulous accounting functions for multi-billion-dollar hedge funds. I specialize in accounting for multi-asset class and exotic derivatives and thrive in fast-paced environments that demand accuracy and speed.

I have hands-on experience with NAV calculation and reporting, daily and monthly valuation/pricing of listed and exotic OTC products, P&L monitoring, cash reconciliations, and handling cash and par breaks with custodians and third-party administrators. I have worked with diverse fund structures including standalone, master-feeder, and multi-currency funds.

At my current role I lead teams to deliver investor statements, NAV packages, allocations, and support audits and financial statement preparation, while implementing process improvements and task automation to increase efficiency and accuracy. I collaborate across functions to drive complex projects to completion and maintain strong client relationships through clear communication.

I am committed to continuous learning—completing courses such as Excel Skills for Business and Financial Markets—and to mentoring new team members, improving operational workflows, and ensuring regulatory compliance for US-based and multi-currency clients.
