In this role, you will serve as the frontline steward of pricing, transactions, and asset classification — the inputs that make performance outputs meaningful and defensible. You will administer alternative investment operations, run the performance reconciliation cycle, and partner directly with advisors to investigate and resolve data questions with precision. This is a high-ownership role for someone energized by data integrity, analytical rigor, and ensuring that every number reaching a client is right.

• Meaningful visibility across the Aprio Wealth Management platform through close partnership with advisors and leadership.
• A strong foundation to grow toward performance, compliance, or operations leadership within a high-growth wealth management firm.

Key Responsibilities

• Administer daily pricing: monitor exceptions, source and validate prices for instruments not covered by automated feeds, and document the source for each.
• Maintain the security master and asset classification, ensuring every instrument maps to the firm's sanctioned classification vocabulary with an authoritative source behind it.
• Review corporate actions, security identifier changes, mergers, and other events that can create pricing or transaction breaks; confirm downstream records are corrected consistently.
• Maintain data-quality exception queues for securities, prices, classifications, and transactions, prioritizing issues based on client-reporting and performance impact.
• Administer transaction and valuation updates for alternative holdings and post capital account statement values on the reporting cycle.
• Reconcile alternative investment values to manager statements and maintain documentation supporting each valuation.
• Maintain a current inventory of alternative holdings, valuation dates, source documents, and stale-price exceptions so missing updates are visible before the reporting cycle closes.
• Escalate stale, unsupported, or inconsistent valuations with a documented recommendation for treatment and disclosure in reporting.
• Run the monthly, quarterly, and year-to-date performance reconciliation cycle; validate returns at household, account, and composite level before release.
• Investigate return anomalies to root cause and document findings clearlyProduce and quality-check client reporting packages; compare current-period returns, balances, and flows to prior periods and benchmarks to identify outliers before reports are released.
• Document material performance adjustments and restatements so the original issue, correction, affected population, and final outcome are fully traceable.
• Serve as the first point of contact for advisor questions on performance, holdings, and classification.
• Operate the team's Python-based operational tools in production, test enhancements, and contribute requirementsMaintain SOPs for every recurring process you own.
