Applying independent judgment to assess accounting, operational, and control issues, ensuring appropriate treatment in accordance with regulatory guidance, GAAP, internal policy, and risk management expectations
Ensure execution of SQP tools: Issue log, open items, KPIs and Sentiment indexes to drive strong outcomes at the TPAs
Partnering closely with Fund Assurance leadership and key stakeholders to strengthen execution quality, control integrity, and risk-based oversight across multiple product types and operating models
Advising on accounting, operational, and control considerations related to complex investment exposures, including derivatives, structured instruments, private or less-liquid investments, and non-standard pricing inputs as they impact NAV and reporting
Driving innovation and process enhancement opportunities through automation, data analytics, exception-based review practices, and improved use of fund accounting systems and reporting tools, with a focus on advancing, standardizing, and institutionalizing the ABOR data platform globally as a core enabler of scalable, risk-based assurance.
Supporting strategic initiatives such as fund launches, reorganizations, mergers, liquidations, and operating model changes by performing readiness assessments and advising on scalable control design
Providing expert review and challenge over NAVs, financial statements, distributions, and regulatory filings to ensure accurate, consistent, and well-controlled application of accounting standards
Acting as a senior liaison with internal partners, auditors, third-party administrators, custodians, and technology or data teams on complex accounting, oversight, and reporting matters
Identifying root causes, systemic risks, and control gaps, and leading remediation or enhancement efforts that improve operational resilience, transparency, and consistency across the platform
Coaching and influencing fund assurance professionals through technical leadership, assurance expertise, and continuous improvement mindset, without direct formal line management responsibility
The experience you bring:
A minimum of 8 -10 years of progressive fund accounting, fund oversight, assurance, or equivalent experience, including strong exposure to mutual funds and experience supporting ETFs and/or alternative or complex investment products
Advanced understanding of accounting, operational, risk, and control requirements across diverse fund structures, strategies, and service delivery models
Strong technical expertise in NAV calculation, pricing, reconciliations, financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and oversight of third-party administration environments
Demonstrated experience supporting audits, SOX controls, assurance reviews, and regulatory examinations, including matters involving complex or non-standard investment structures
Proven ability to independently assess and resolve high-complexity, high-risk accounting or control issues with sound judgment and clear decision-making
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify themes, assess root causes, and translate findings into practical process or control improvements
Advanced proficiency with fund accounting systems, data tools, and reporting platforms, with experience leveraging technology, automation, and analytics to enhance oversight and operating efficiency
