- Apply understanding of broker-dealer accounting principles and practices
- Partner with compliance and finance on regulatory requirements and changes
Audit Support & Readiness:
- Serve as a primary point of contact for audit requests in assigned areas
- Prepare clear, well-documented support for external auditors (PBC requests)
- Respond to audit inquiries with timely and complete responses
- Identify and remediate control gaps or documentation issues
Problem Solving & Process Improvement:
- Proactively identify issues during close and drive resolution
- Suggest and implement process improvements to enhance efficiency and accuracy
The role is based in our NY Wall Street office (44 Wall Street, NYC), where in-person collaboration fuels growth, mentorship, and innovation.
Requirements:
- Proven experience as a broker-dealer accountant or in a similar regulated financial services accounting role

- Excellent attention to detail and strong analytical skills
