Are you interested in having an impact on clients and our teams around the globe? Portfolio Accounting makes sure our client portfolio information is up-to-date and accurate. This ensures that Fisher is implementing and reporting on client accounts accurately, and is core for the business to function. Without the dedicated work of PA, many groups could not perform their daily tasks to guarantee that our clients are receiving the best service possible.

In doing so, you will apply business logic to ensure the accuracy of information, allowing Portfolio Engineering and Trading to swiftly implement the IPC's strategy as we report performance, and bill each client account.

Portfolio Accounting is always working on projects to gain efficiency for the team and our internal clients. Whether it's adapting database infrastructure to accommodate the newest custodian with its unique file structure, helping with expansion efforts, assisting in firm modernization projects, automating a manual task or building an audit to reduce the risk of a workflow, you will leave your mark on the team.

• Apply business logic to reconcile FIN holdings, cash balances and transactions with custodial information for US PCG, PCGI, FIIG and 401k client accounts
• Monitor client accounts for unexpected or potentially fraudulent activity and work with Client Services to validate
• Understand downstream impacts on different teams of posting transactions to FIN to avoid unforeseen negative impacts on trading, billing and performance measurement
• Help maintain normalization logic in internal custodian data repository to read custodian files
• Use Access, VBA (Learn on the job!), and other analytics tools along with project management skills to build efficiencies into the team's workflows, pushing the team towards its desired end state of automating reconciliation
