About Nikitha Nayak

I currently work as a Financial Due Diligence (FDD) Associate, where I analyze financial data, perform reconciliations and ensure accuracy of information under tight timelines. A large part of my role involves working extensively with Excel, including advanced Excel functions, to clean, analyze and validate large datasets for due diligence engagements.Prior to this, I interned in Fund Services, where I was introduced to Fixed Income operations and the trade lifecycle. During my internship, I supported daily fund activities, assisted with cash and position reconciliations, and worked closely with internal teams to resolve discrepancies. This experience sparked my interest in operations and middle office roles within financial services.I enjoy working in structured, process-driven environments and take pride in delivering accurate work, especially in time-sensitive situations. I am now looking to transition into Fixed Income Operations, Investor Services, or Trade Support roles where I can build deeper expertise, take greater ownership, and contribute to improving operational processes.I value clarity, accountability, and collaboration, and I am motivated by roles that require consistency, problem solving and attention to detail.
