• Research corporate actions and support valuation and expense review processes

• Process fund and management company payments and treasury activities

• Assist with year-end audit and tax deliverables

• Partner with experienced CFO and operations professionals on strategic client initiatives

Requirements

Qualifications

• Experience supporting hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, private credit, or other alternative investment clients

• Strong understanding of accounting principles and financial reporting

• Proficient in Microsoft Office, especially Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.

• Experience with financial software, such as Power BI and Adaptive is a plus.

• Excellent communication and client-facing abilities
