Coordinate with independent trustees and fund administrators to reconcile collateral positions, cash activity, and NAV calculations
Review distribution waterfalls and payment calculations ahead of each payment date
Review daily/monthly PnL for CLO strategies, investigating and resolving breaks between trading systems, administrator records, and trustee reports
Prepare and review management-level financial packages summarizing CLO performance, fees, and risk/return metrics for internal leadership and investment teams
Support attribution analysis distinguishing mark-to-market movements, realized gains/losses, and interest income/expense
Prepare or review financial statements, investor letters, and capital account statements related to CLO vehicles
Serve as a primary point of contact for fund administrators and independent trustees on accounting treatment, reporting timelines, and issue resolution
Support external audit processes (annual audits, agreed-upon procedures) including preparation of audit schedules and responses to auditor inquiries
Maintain and strengthen internal controls over CLO financial reporting, including reconciliations between the collateral manager’s books, trustee reports, and administrator NAVs
Identify and implement process improvements and automation opportunities across CLO reporting workflows
Ensure compliance with governing documents (indentures, collateral management agreements) from an accounting and reporting perspective
Partner with Operations, Legal, and Compliance on new CLO issuances, resets, refinancings, and wind-downs
