• Review and validate incoming transactions across various asset classes (Equities, Fixed Income, Money Market, FX, and Basic Derivatives) against Investment Manager (IM) records and broker/custodian confirmations.
• Monitor automated straight-through processing (STP) interfaces, proactively identifying and resolving trade mapping exceptions or transmission failures ahead of daily accounting cut-offs.

2. Reconciliations & Break Resolution

• Perform daily cash, position, and transaction reconciliations between internal fund accounting ledgers, prime brokers, and custodians.
• Investigate and resolve trade capture breaks, quantity discrepancies, cash variances, and unapplied transactions in a timely manner.
• Engage directly with Investment Managers (IMs), executing brokers, and middle office teams to clarify transaction details and expedite break resolution.

3. Transaction Posting & NAV Readiness

• Ensure all verified trades, fee accruals, cash transfers, and capital activity are accurately posted to the fund ledger to support reliable daily and periodic NAV calculations.
• Maintain and update trade reference data, account mappings, and fund parameters relevant to daily transaction posting.
• Review and verify trade valuation prices applied to daily transactions to ensure consistency with fund accounting valuation guidelines.

4. Operational Controls & BAU Support

• Execute daily operational checklist controls, sign-offs, and end-of-day sweep procedures to ensure all transaction capture milestones are completed on schedule.
• Act as a day-to-day checker for routine transaction capture and trade processing tasks completed by peers.
• Handle routine transaction-related queries from Investment Managers (IMs), internal audit/oversight, and middle office teams.
• Maintain accurate procedural notes and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for assigned transaction capture workflows.

 

As a successful candidate, you’d ideally have the following skills and exposure:

• System Proficiency: Hands-on experience with core fund accounting platforms (e.g., Multifonds, InvestOne, Geneva, or equivalent proprietary accounting ledgers) and automated reconciliation tools.
• Skills:

o   High attention to detail and accuracy under strict daily transaction cut-off deadlines.
