We're a small team in New York and London, and interns work directly with the founders on problems that touch the live business.

## Role Overview

We're launching a new investment product and need help from the accounting side to design and run its payout structure, since partners will be paid under different economic arrangements.

- Reconcile exchange and prime broker balances against our internal records
- Support day to day bookkeeping, including transaction categorization, expense reconciliation and month end close

Required Qualifications

- Currently pursuing a degree in accounting or finance, with coursework in financial accounting
- Strong spreadsheet skills and care for getting numbers exactly right
- Clear written and spoken communication, especially when explaining how you reached a figure
- Reliability and follow through, since output is reviewed daily

- Familiarity with profit split, fee or interest accrual calculations

Location and Schedule Hybrid in New York City, with one in office day per week and flexible hours around your classes. Immediate start.
