• Mentorship from experienced fund operations professionals across reconciliation, NAV accounting, and trade lifecycle management.
• A front-row seat to how a SOC 1 Type II controlled operating environment is run in practice.

• Data Entry & Validation: help record investor inflows, redemptions, corporate actions, and trade bookings accurately into the core portfolio accounting system (Enfusion).
