Hi everyone! 👋 Anna here - let me introduce myself
👋 Hi everyone! I'm Anna, and I'm excited to start this community! A bit about me: I've spent the last 20 years in fund accounting - everything from boutique fund administrators to mid-sized asset managers. I've calculated thousands of NAVs, trained hundreds of accountants across India, Poland, and China, and yes... I've seen EVERY possible NAV error you can imagine. 😅 The most common question I get asked: "How do I actually learn NAV production?" Corporate training is €500-2,000 per person. YouTube is fragmented. On-the-job training takes 2-3 years of trial and error (and costly mistakes). So I built something different: NAV Production Academy ✅ 10 interactive modules (NAV basics → Swing Pricing) ✅ 71 hands-on exercises in Excel✅ Real-world scenarios from 20 years of experience ✅ Complete answer keys ✅ $10 one-time payment But here's the thing... The academy is just the START. This community is where the REAL learning happens. 💬 Ask questions about tricky NAV calculations 🤝 Share your experiences (anonymously if needed!) 📚 Learn from each other's mistakes (we've all made them!) 🎯 Get direct answers from someone who's been there Whether you're: - New to fund accounting - Changing careers into the field - Part of an offshore team - Studying finance - A fund administrator training a team You're in the right place. I'm here to help you master NAV production without the 3-year learning curve. Drop a comment below and tell me: 👉 What's your biggest NAV challenge right now? 👉 What do you want to learn first? Let's build this community together! 🚀 — Anna

Working Progress
Hi everyone, A quick update on what’s currently being built inside NAV Skool 👇 We are actively working on structuring the NAV Skool classrooms to make this a practical, day-to-day learning space for fund accounting and NAV professionals — not just theory. What’s in progress right now: - 🧠 Core NAV Classrooms – structured by topic (NAV production, controls, errors, pricing & FX, reconciliations, oversight) - 📚 Daily NAV Pro Tips – short, actionable checks you can apply immediately in your NAV day - 🧮 Practical Exercises & Examples – real-life scenarios based on common NAV issues (not textbook cases) - 💬 Q&A Areas – a safe space to ask questions, sense-check approaches, and learn from others - 🏗️ Foundations First – ensuring juniors and experienced professionals can learn side-by-side This community is being built with one clear goal: to help you produce better NAVs, with fewer errors and less stress. As the classrooms go live, you’ll see content appearing gradually — designed to be useful alongside your day job, not overwhelming. Thank you for being here at the beginning. More updates coming very soon. — Anna NAV Skool

🎯 NAV Pro Tip #4: Corporate Actions & Income Trap Check
Before you finalise the NAV, take 3 minutes to scan corporate actions and income activity: ✅ Were all corporate actions identified and processed correctly?– Dividends, interest, splits, mergers, or reorganisations today?– Correct ex-date, record date, and payment date applied?– Actions reflected consistently across positions, cash, and income? ✅ Does income look reasonable vs expectations?– Missing or duplicated dividend/interest income?– Unusual spikes or drops compared to prior periods?– Correct withholding tax treatment applied? ✅ Any pending or partially processed events?– Corporate actions posted to positions but not cash (or vice versa)?– Income accrued but never settled?– Manual overrides applied without review? Why this matters: Corporate actions and income are high-risk NAV areas — they often involve manual processing, multiple data sources, and tight deadlines. Small mistakes here can quickly become material NAV errors. Pro move: If a corporate action required manual intervention, it deserves a second review — even if the NAV “balances.” Building better NAV production habits, one day at a time.

🎯 NAV Pro Tip #3: The Balance Sheet Reality Check
Before you sign off the NAV, take 3 minutes to scan the balance sheet: ✅ Do cash balances make sense?– Any unusually large balances sitting idle?– Negative cash where you wouldn’t expect it?– Movements aligned with subscriptions, redemptions, and trades? ✅ Are receivables and payables behaving normally?– Old dividend, tax, or interest receivables still outstanding?– Accrued expenses growing month after month with no settlement?– Any balances that “never seem to clear”? ✅ Any suspense or control accounts still open?– Temporary accounts not cleared on time?– Manual adjustments parked and forgotten?– Items no one fully owns? Why this matters: Many NAV errors don’t start today — they roll forward quietly. Unreviewed balance sheet items compound risk and eventually turn into audit findings, NAV restatements, or client escalations. Pro move: If you can’t explain a balance in one sentence, it needs attention — even if it’s small. Building better NAV production habits, one day at a time.
