Is this a glorified BO role?

Confused on this job description (I think it's just wishful thinking) - it has aspects of "data analysis" and "portfolio analysis," but seems to be a fund reporting job which I assume is like FP&A or accounting? It's at a $73B AUM FoF.

My questions are is this just a BO role/are there any exits - to what/is it good experience? What would you categorize the role as (accounting, audit, FP&A, data analytics, etc.)? If it is FP&A, how does it differ from FP&A at a F500/is there any useful knowledge to be gained for a future buyside role?

It seems they also do things like due diligence, RFPs/direct marketing to clients, calculate AUM, etc.

I'm not too familiar with jobs of this nature, so apologies if I seem naïve. Can't find much online so any info is appreciated.
