• Partner with investor relations, legal/compliance, and operations to ensure consistency and accuracy across financial and investor reporting deliverables.
• Support quarterly and annual reporting cycles, including performance metrics, internal dashboards, and responses to LP inquiries.
• Assist in managing annual financial statement audits, including preparation of audit support schedules and coordination with external auditors.
