Financial Due Diligence, Fund Accounting & Modeling | PE, M&A, FP&A
I handle fund accounting, quarterly NAV rollforwards, and LP reporting across 100+ investor accounts for a $250M+ AUM US Real Estate PE manager, and build pre-LOI financial due diligence models for M&A buyers, search funds, and independent sponsors ($4.6M closed transaction; 40+ targets evaluated). Founders, CFOs, and Managing Partners bring me in when they want an institutional-grade analyst who can step into complex Excel workbooks, general ledgers, or data rooms and own recurring deliverables without hand-holding. WHAT I DELIVER ACROSS PRIVATE EQUITY, M&A & STRATEGIC FP&A: 1. Fund Accounting, NAV & LP Operations ($250M+ AUM Experience): • Quarterly Net Asset Value (NAV) calculations, multi-entity close rollforwards, and multi-tier LP/GP promote waterfalls (preferred return hurdles, catch-up, 80/20 carry splits). • Monthly portfolio & asset-level reporting packs (P&L, occupancy/NOI, Budget-vs-Actual variance commentary, and senior debt DSCR covenant tracking). • Centralized LP compliance & K-1 readiness matrices across 100+ investor accounts (tracking subscription docs, KYC refreshes, 3-year W-8BEN expiries, and capital account reconciliations). 2. Financial Due Diligence, Valuation & LBO Modeling ($4.6M Closed Deal): • Evaluated $5M+ in active lower-middle-market deal flow for 10+ investment firms, search funds, and independent sponsors (supporting multiple signed LOIs within 3 months) and conducted deep-dive due diligence on 40+ targets across tech, education, and commercial services. • Integrated 3-Statement, DCF & LBO models built to Wall Street mechanical standards (Blue inputs, Black formulas, Green cross-sheet links, $0.00 balance sheet checks, and 2-way DSCR/IRR sensitivity tables). • Quality of Earnings (QoE) owner add-back scrubs, 12-month Net Working Capital (NWC) peg calculations, and Investment Committee (IC) Go/No-Go memos. 3. Python Reconciliation & Power BI / Tableau Automation: • Python (Pandas, NumPy) & SQL scripts to automate multi-account financial reconciliations, GL data cleaning, and recurring reporting pipelines. • Automated Power BI and Tableau executive dashboards translating messy ERP/property/CRM exports into live C-suite KPI views and 13-week cash flow forecasts.
