San Francisco, 11 February 2015 – San Fran’s Culinary Delights

Roisin Cahill 

So the first month is over, and busy season has definitely kicked in!  My Broker-Dealer clients have a 60 day filing deadline, so as you can imagine, February is going to be busy busy busy!  I’ve been out on site a lot, mostly in offices around the San Francisco financial district with amazing views of the bay, I certainly could get used to working here!

We’ve been very lucky with the weather since we got here, it’s been the driest January in San Fran since records began!  Over the past few weekends we’ve been exploring the city, soaking up the atmosphere in many different neighbourhoods.  Last weekend we checked out the culinary delights on offer in the Mission District, it was definitely my most interesting breakfast since I got here!  I have no idea how they do it!

New York, 11 February 2015 – Supporting the Knicks

Andrew Duignan

After 4 weeks, I’m becoming more familiar with hedgefund audits and I’m enjoying my work!

This week we went to see the Knicks play the Boston Celtics and we had the chance to enjoy the sights the Brooklyn Bridge has to offer.  We also went to Central Park and built a snowman, which was a novelty for our fellow South African Secondees!

New York, 4 February 2015 – A great team dinner

Josie Egan

JE dinnerWe’re 2 weeks into our Secondment and  Tsafos, EisnerAmper  LLP Partner, took  the team and myself out to a Third Avenue Steakhouse.  Great food, great wine and great company!

We took a lift to the 70th floor of the Rockefeller Plaza, wrapped up warm, and headed out to the observation deck!  From the North, we could see Central Park, from the South, the Empire State Building.  Spectacular; the only way to describe the breath-taking view of NYC from the Top of the Rock!

San Francisco, 4 February 2015 – Business in the City of Angels

Karl Purcell       

The week started with a quick day trip to LA to meet a new client we are working with for the first time.  It was a great experience and very useful for gaining an understanding of the unique characteristics of the fund, and learning about the rationale for the investment strategy.

The weather has been brilliant (I could get used to 20 degrees in January!) so we have been doing plenty of exploring at the weekends.  Each neighbourhood has its own atmosphere and great places to eat and drink!  Super Bowl Sunday was also certainly an experience to remember!

New York, 4 February 2015 – ‘Blizzard Juno’ and ice skating in Central Park

Michael O’Malley

mom-week3Week three and busy season is now in full swing.  I’m currently working on two multi fund private equity partnerships, reviewing how fund managers value a level 3 private company is very interesting. As each day passes, we are learning more about the process of auditing funds.

‘Blizzard Juno’ hit New York at the beginning of the week.  The city was shut down for 12 hours or so but in the aftermath it gave us a chance to go sledging and ice skating in the winter wonderland that was Central Park.  Another busy weekend with Friday happy hour organized by the office and a super bowl party on a roof top bar overlooking New York City.
