About the Role

Scientech Research is looking for Finance & Fund Accounting Interns to join our team.

This is a project-based internship for students interested in the intersection of fund accounting, finance, investment operations, and automation. Rather than focusing primarily on routine accounting tasks, you will work on real-world projects involving financial reconciliation, controls, public-market data, fund operations, and finance technology.

The goal is to give you hands-on exposure to how Finance operates within a quantitative trading firm while developing the analytical judgment and attention to detail required in a buy-side environment.

Strong interest in fund accounting, asset management finance, financial operations, or financial controls

Strong attention to detail and a willingness to investigate when numbers don't tie or something doesn't make sense

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including comfort with open-ended problems

Proficiency in Excel

Ability to independently organize your work and communicate findings clearly

Strong written and verbal communication skills

Nice to Have

Finance × Technology: Gain experience applying data and automation to traditional finance and accounting problems.
Independent problem-solving: Learn how to investigate discrepancies, challenge assumptions, and turn ambiguous problems into structured solutions.
