About Hari Krishna Balamurali

I\'m an Investment Operations and Reconciliation Analyst with 3+ years of experience in financial data reconciliation, break investigation, and client servicing across multi-source systems and investment accounting contexts. My work spans validating data against third-party market data sources, applying GAAP and IFRS principles to classify valuation variances across asset classes, and building Python and Excel automations that reduce manual processing. I thrive on diagnosing discrepancies to root cause and communicating resolution status clearly to clients and senior stakeholders, consistently within SLA. Most recently, I reconciled 100K+ financial records at Insight Global and automated mortgage and fixed-income loan-level data pipelines at Risamsoft. Before my MS, I managed 20+ weekly client inquiries across 10+ biopharma accounts at Indegene, earning stakeholder recognition for reliable, on-time delivery. I hold a Master\'s in Information Technology & Management from UT Dallas (Dean\'s Excellence Scholar, GPA 3.78), and I\'m currently pursuing CFA Level 1, a reflection of my commitment to deepening my investment accounting and financial markets expertise. Open to investment operations, client servicing, and financial data analyst roles where I can bring both technical depth and strong client communication skills.
