• Strong understanding of GAAP for asset managers, fund structures, fee mechanics, and expense allocations.
• Experience conducting audits across financial processes, systems, and controls, with attention to detail and documentation rigor.
• Proven ability to assess operational risks, identify improvement opportunities, and communicate findings effectively.
• Comfort working independently and managing multiple audit initiatives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills, with the ability to synthesize complex information clearly.
• US-based candidates only, with flexibility for remote or hybrid work arrangements.

• Competitive base salary starting at $210,000, with total compensation adjusted based on experience, location, and qualifications.
