• Working with clients and clearing firms to resolve financial discrepancies
• Ensuring that invoices and collections are accounted for in a timely manner

This role provides great exposure to the larger operations of the firm. The right candidate will be discreet, trustworthy, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
