Member of Accounting, Regulated Trading & Derivatives

We are looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented accounting professional to join our Regulated Trading & Derivatives accounting team. Working directly with the Global Accounting Lead (CFO), you will help run the books, close, and regulatory reporting for our Swap-dealer and Broker-dealer entities.

Accounting & Close

Prepare journal entries, account reconciliations, and flux analysis for the Broker-dealer and Swap-dealer entities as part of the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close, in accordance with US GAAP. Account for trading activity, derivatives, margin, collateral, and digital asset positions, and reconcile them to clearing, custody, and counterparty statements. Investigate and resolve breaks and open items quickly, and document the root cause so they do not repeat. Support internal and external auditors with schedules, samples, and walkthroughs.

Regulatory Reporting

Prepare the supporting schedules and workpapers behind SEC FOCUS reports, CFTC/NFA swap dealer financial reports, and daily or monthly net capital computations. Help monitor compliance with SEC Rule 15c3-1 and SEC Rule 15c3-3 for the Broker-dealer, and with CFTC Regulation 23.101 and 23.104 for the Swap-dealer, and flag early-warning issues promptly. Support the accounting and reconciliation of all derivatives trading activity for uncleared swaps. Maintain the weekly regulatory capital model and prepare related internal updates. Support regulatory audits and examinations.

Build & Improve

Help set up the books, chart of accounts, reconciliations, close checklists, and reporting packages for the Swap-dealer and Broker-dealer entities. Document processes and help design and test internal controls over financial reporting. Look for ways to automate manual work in spreadsheets and the ledgering system. Partner with Compliance, Legal, and Trading to understand the accounting and regulatory effect of new products and trading strategies. Take on special and ad-hoc projects as the team grows.
