Key Responsibilities:

Account Lifecycle Administration:

- Set up clients, households, registrations, and accounts across portfolio accounting and CRM platforms, maintaining data accuracy and system-to-system consistency.

- Process account closings and terminations, including final fee treatment and status hygiene.

- Maintain the account attributes billing depends on — fee schedule, billing group, and custodian flags — so accounts are billing-ready the day they fund.

- Run first-line quality control on new account data, including naming conventions, contact information, household grouping, and client category classification.

- Validate new and changed account records against source documentation and resolve missing or conflicting data before downstream billing or reporting is affected.

- Monitor daily account and household exception reports for orphaned registrations, duplicate records, and accounts that fail established readiness controls.

Advisory Fee Billing:

- Run the advisory fee billing cycle end to end, including pre-bill review, cash adequacy check, fee calculation review, custodial fee submission, and post-submission reconciliation.

- Own the month-over-month billing review at the household and account level, and explain every material variance before the cycle is released.

- Prepare per-advisor billing review packages and respond to advisor questions on fee outcomes.

- Maintain a forward billing calendar identifying monthly and quarterly deadlines, off-cycle adjustments, and dependencies requiring advisor or accounting input.

- Track recurring billing exceptions and trend them by cause to support control enhancements or automation requirements.

Exception Research & Advisor Support:

- Serve as the first point of contact for advisor and service team questions on account setup, terminations, and fees

- Investigate breaks between systems and document the cause, not only the fix.

- Identify patterns in recurring inquiries and data breaks, and surface themes that warrant training, workflow. improvements, or upstream data-quality corrections.

- Escalate with a recommendation and the supporting evidence.

Controls & Documentation:

- Maintain standard operating procedures and checklists for every recurring process owned, keeping them current as processes evolve.

- Run Python-based operational tools in production, test enhancements, and contribute business requirements based on data findings.

- Support Salesforce Financial Services Cloud migration workstreams, including household hierarchy, account structure, billing workflow mapping, and data validation.

- Maintain recurring control evidence, exception logs, and reconciliation support so processes can be reproduced and reviewed without reliance on individual knowledge.

Candidate Qualifications:

- Two or more years in wealth management, RIA, broker-dealer, custodian, or fund administration operations.

- Hands-on experience with advisory fee billing or account onboarding at a firm running a portfolio accounting system.

- Advanced Excel skills, including lookups, pivot tables, and the ability to reconcile data sets that do not agree on the first pass.

- Demonstrated accuracy against fixed, recurring deadlines.

- Clear written communication skills sufficient for advisor-facing correspondence.

Preferred:

- Experience with portfolio accounting and CRM platforms such as Orion, Salesforce, Practice Engine, Tamarac, Envestnet, Addepar, or Black Diamond.
