- Income & Tax Reporting: Accurately report dividends, distributions, interest, and other income alongside annual tax statements, including unlisted securities.
- Quality Assurance: Quality-assure onboardings, cost reconstructions, and transaction processing completed by junior administrators for client reporting.

and external custodians, resolving escalated queries promptly.
