I started at People's United as an intern, where I worked within the Internal Audit department and assisted the various teams (Compliance, Sarbanes-Oxley, etc.). I got the chance to work with different business entities, test controls related to those entities, perform walkthroughs, and assist with various cycle audits (Financial Reporting, etc.). I also worked hand-in-hand with the external auditors for People's United (KPMG). I then transitioned to my role as an Audit Associate within the Associate Development Program at People's United Bank. I rotated through each team within Internal Audit over the course of a year (IT/Operations, Sarbanes-Oxley, Compliance, and Finance) before working full-time with the Sarbanes Oxley team.After I left People’s United Bank, I joined iCapital, a Fintech firm headquartered in New York City. As a Corporate Accounting Associate on our Corporate Finance team, I specifically worked with our technology solutions segment, a $30 million dollar revenue segment that includes our direct funds/software licensing business, alternative investment education and compliance, and other technology-based services and revenue. I was responsible for all the reporting responsibilities of this segment, including our month-end close processes (closing the books). This involved booking all revenue and cash entries for our segment and reconciling revenue in our NetSuite accounting system, reconciling the cash accounts I was responsible for, reporting all our KPIs (fund count, platform assets, revenue, and expenses for our segment), and more.After I left iCapital, I joined Strategic Value Partners, a Private Equity firm specializing in private debt, event-driven transactions, hard assets (real estate, infrastructure), and special situations private equity. I run the Accounts Payable function for our Management Company Accounting team, where I code and post all bills in our GL system, prepare our weekly payment files and send out payments (for our US and UK entities), reconcile cash and prepare our cash projection, and more. Besides our US and UK entities, I also help process bills and expenses for our Spain and Japan entities; for the UK, I work with an outsourced accounting firm (Apex) to send out payments and code all bills to comply with local regulations. We process roughly 100 bills a week split across our US and UK payment runs. In addition, I oversee two offshore contractors who I meet with daily and review all work they prepare, including the bills they input into our GL system and the payment/AP Aging files they help to generate.
