      • Preparation of internal reporting packages (e.g., P&L, balance sheet, key schedules)

    • Support recurring fund workflows such as expense allocations and reimbursement support (maintaining workpapers, gathering inputs, organizing documentation).

    • Assist with recurring fund calculations and fee-related support, in coordination with internal stakeholders and external service providers.

    • Support AP/AR workflows including invoice tracking, payment coordination, and issue resolution across entities.

    • Assist with vendor-related administration such as onboarding, renewals tracking, invoice reviews, and approval workflows.

    • Maintain organized supporting documentation and help keep processes well-documented and repeatable.

    2) Treasury & Cash Management

    • Monitor cash position and help maintain visibility into expected inflows/outflows across entities.

    • Support payment timing coordination, transfers, and cash planning views to ensure smooth execution.

    3) Additional Support

    • Support recurring and ad hoc operational analysis and internal KPI tracking.

    • Contribute to process improvements and automation initiatives for recurring finance operations work.

    Qualifications

    Required

    • 1–3 years of experience in accounting, finance operations, or a similar role with hands-on close responsibilities.

    • Strong accounting fundamentals (reconciliations, month-end close, financial statements).

    • Strong Excel skills; comfortable handling structured datasets and performing analysis.

    Preferred

    • Fund accounting experience or tax background (e.g., partnership/K-1 support, fund expense allocations, working with external tax providers).

    • Familiarity with process improvement and automation initiatives.

    Working Style
