Fund Controls & Investment Operations Reviewer

The opportunityIXO is engaging US-based fund-accounting and investment-operations professionals for paid exercises built from mock ledgers, statements and notices. Each assignment is self-contained and produces a reviewable analyst work product assessed against defined criteria. This role covers the wider operational chain as well as fund net asset value, or NAV.

Work and deliverables

• Reconcile a ledger to custodian or bank records. Identify every remaining difference, explain its cause and prepare the completed reconciliation with any adjusting entries.
• Attribute NAV movements to their drivers, identify components outside specified tolerances and write the corresponding variance commentary.
• Investigate trade differences between two systems. Classify the break, determine its cause, propose a correction and document the investigation.
• Interpret corporate-action notices and calculate the entitlement for each account.
• Decide whether a payment or transfer exception requires repair, return or escalation, with an explanation based on the supplied evidence.
• Normalize inconsistent merchant or vendor descriptions by matching them to the correct entry in a canonical registry.

The expected result is an auditable calculation or decision trail with a concise explanation. Do not conceal a residual difference or force a reconciliation to balance by inserting an unsupported adjustment.

Required background

You need at least three years in fund administration or investment operations at an administrator, custodian, asset manager or bank operations team. Relevant routes include fund accounting, reconciliation, corporate actions, trade support/middle office and payment operations. Hands-on experience in one or more of reconciliation, NAV, trade breaks, corporate actions or payment/settlement exceptions, together with strong Excel skills, is required.

• CPA or IOC credentials are helpful, as is experience with SS&C, Geneva, Multifonds, InvestOne, SWIFT or settlement systems; these are optional advantages.

Assessment, engagement and pay

Practical assessment may involve a ledger-to-custodian reconciliation that ties, NAV variance attribution and a trade-break explanation; IXO will confirm the selection steps. Remote US project pay is $80 $120/hr USD. Around 15 hours weekly is an indicative planning assumption. IXO confirms the actual rate, scope, schedule and duration before work. Applying does not guarantee an assignment.
