Upon graduating from Boston College this past May, I started working at Brown Brothers Harriman in Boston. In my role as a Client Account Manager, I service our clients (other banks and investment firms) by managing their respective funds. The funds that I work on are either private debt or private equity funds. My main tasks are to handle the accounting of the funds and to calculate monthly or quarterly NAV estimates for each fund. These tasks,among others, are all done with the end goal of generating and providing quarterly Financial Statements for each fund. Prior to this job I had a basic understanding of how PE funds operated. This job has provided me with an in depth look of how private equity and private debt funds operate. I have also gotten the opportunity to see the process of setting up funds and launching these funds. I found that this is the part of my job that I enjoy the most. Fund structure, the purpose behind that structure and the investment patterns of each fund are some aspects that I am excited to learn about as I continue to grow in this role. Currently my goal is to attend law school in the next two years with a focus on fund formation/fund set up. Thank you to MVYouth and the work you all do to support and provide opportunities for Island students to pursue their passions.
