Overview
Portfolio Accounting is necessary in making sure our client portfolio information is accurate. We support various teams across the firm and aim to perform our work error free while maintaining a positive team environment. Self-development is regularly practiced, infrastructure is constantly being improved, and excellent customer service is consistently delivered to our internal business partners.

- Apply business logic to reconcile holdings, cash balances, and transactions
- Create full account market value reconciliation reports for institutional and private accounts
- Monitor client accounts for unexpected or potentially fraudulent activity
