What you’ll do

• Synthesize and interpret data from multiple sources to produce consolidated views of fund economics and strategy‑ and investor‑level returns, delivering clear, well‑contextualized reporting to stakeholders.
• Contribute to regulatory reporting requirements, including investor‑level disclosures and filings under FATCA/CRS, Form PF, CPO‑PQR, and other applicable obligations.
• Establish and maintain a robust control environment across income allocation, fee calculations, capital activity, and wire processing in alignment with SSAE 18 standards; serve as a key point of contact for external auditors.
• Proactively identify risks, inconsistencies, and inefficiencies—applying critical thinking to surface issues and design scalable solutions. Lead cross‑departmental projects as needed.
