Monitor credit facility draws, borrowing base certificates, covenant compliance, and interest rate resets across the credit portfolio.
Support cash management, capital call and distribution processing, and treasury operations across multiple credit fund entities and co-investment vehicles.
Partner with deal teams and capital markets on the onboarding of new credit investments, ensuring accurate setup of new positions in accounting and portfolio monitoring systems.
Lead or support the year-end audit process for credit vehicles, including preparation of audit schedules, supporting documentation, and coordination with external auditors and tax advisors.
Support NAV calculations, management fee computations, and waterfall mechanics for credit fund structures, partnering with the fund administrator as needed.
Assist in enhancing accounting processes, controls, and reporting infrastructure to support the continued growth of the credit platform.
Respond to investor due diligence requests and support quarterly and annual investor reporting deliverables for the credit strategy.
