About

MBA candidate at Bentley University with experience in private equity fund accounting and financial analysis. Most recently worked as a Fund Accountant at Gen II Fund Services, where I supported private equity clients through cash processing, bank reconciliations, journal entries, financial statement preparation, and investor capital activity. Previously, I completed internships at Flagstar Bank across regulatory reporting, corporate development, and asset liability management. I performed transaction testing for regulatory filings, conducted peer group analysis using S&P Capital IQ, and supported liquidity reporting and forecasting processes. I bring a strong foundation in financial reporting, data analysis, and Excel, along with a detail-oriented and analytical approach to problem solving. I am particularly interested in opportunities within private equity, investment-focused finance, and financial operations.
