• Prepare and review daily Adjusted Net Capital calculations and customer fund segregation calculations in accordance with CFTC requirements
• Manage Segregated Investment Detail Report (SIDR) preparation and support monitoring of the firm’s residual interest in customer accounts
• Maintain and enhance the firm’s general ledger, sub-ledgers, and recordkeeping practices to meet regulatory record retention and audit standards
• Support annual PCAOB-registered audits and participate in NFA audits and DSRO examinations, including coordinating audit requests and documentation
• Oversee daily trade, position, and cash reconciliations, ensuring timely investigation and resolution of breaks
• Partner with Finance leadership to document, implement, and continuously improve core accounting policies and procedures, including Capital and Segregation
• Help design and maintain processes to support required tax reporting, including IRS Form 1099-MISC

• You hold a Bachelor’s degree or higher in Accounting or Finance
• Experience operating within a strong internal control environment subject to regulatory oversight
• You bring strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex financial data, spot issues, and communicate insights clearly
