What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior fund accounting role focused on NAV and financial reporting, control improvement, team leadership, and opportunities to implement automation and process enhancements.

I am a Chartered Accountant and experienced fund accountant with nine years delivering accounting, NAV calculation and regulatory reporting for hedge funds, private equity, real estate and alternative investment structures. I have led teams up to 20, managed month-end close, prepared journal entries and reconciliations, and driven automation and process improvements across SAP, Investran, FundSuite, Yardi and other platforms.

I have a proven record preparing monthly/quarterly NAVs, partnership capital statements, investor reports, cash and position reconciliations, fee calculations and capital activity management (capital calls, distributions, drawdowns). I prioritize accuracy, compliance with US GAAP and investor transparency, and I seek roles where I can apply technical fund accounting expertise while mentoring teams and improving operational efficiency.
