What the work is

About the work We're building a high-quality library of investment-operations and fund-accounting work products. You'll complete self-contained operations exercises from mock files (ledgers, statements, notices) and produce the analyst deliverable for each, graded against a rubric.

What you'll do

  • Reconcile ledgers vs custodian / bank statements; isolate and explain every residual difference; produce the signed-off rec with adjusting entries.

  • Attribute NAV movements, flag components outside tolerance, and write the variance commentary.

  • Investigate trade breaks between two systems; identify root cause, classify the break, propose the fix, and draft the investigation narrative.

  • Process corporate-action events and compute entitlements per account; handle payment / transfer exceptions (repair / return / escalate); match messy merchant / vendor descriptors to a canonical registry.

You're a fit if you have

  • 3+ years in fund administration or investment operations (fund accounting, reconciliations, corporate actions, trade support / middle office, or payment operations) at a fund administrator, custodian, asset manager, or bank ops.

  • Hands-on with reconciliations, NAV, trade breaks, corporate actions, or payment / settlement exceptions; strong Excel.

Nice to have

  • CPA or IOC; fund-accounting systems (SS&C / Geneva / Multifonds / InvestOne); SWIFT / settlement systems.

Assessment A ledger-vs-custodian reconciliation that must tie out; a NAV variance attribution; a trade-break root-cause + narrative.

Details Contract, hourly (~15 hrs/week), remote, US-based. Pay $75-110/hr based on experience.
