Job Description
DRW is a diversified trading firm with over 3 decades of experience bringing sophisticated technology and exceptional people together to operate in markets around the world. We value autonomy and the ability to quickly pivot to capture opportunities, so we operate using our own capital and trading at our own risk.
Headquartered in Chicago with offices throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia, we trade a variety of asset classes including Fixed Income, ETFs, Equities, FX, Commodities and Energy across all major global markets. We have also leveraged our expertise and technology to expand into three non-traditional strategies: real estate, venture capital and cryptoassets.
We operate with respect, curiosity and open minds. The people who thrive here share our belief that it’s not just what we do that matters–it's how we do it. DRW is a place of high expectations, integrity, innovation and a willingness to challenge consensus.
As Broker Dealer Sr Accountant, you will have an opportunity to rapidly develop your accounting and analysis skills in a fast-paced and technology-driven environment that is made of up a diverse set of trading businesses and other private investments.
What you’ll do in this role:
- Perform the end-to-end monthly accounting close process for three SEC-registered broker-dealers, ensuring timely, accurate, and compliant financial statements.
- Prepare monthly and quarterly FINRA filings, including FOCUS Reports and Net Capital computations.
- Responsible for year-end GAAP audits with external auditors, including providing support and year-end financial statements, and responding to audit inquiries.
- Support regulatory examinations including providing support documents and responding to inquiries from regulators.
- Monitor daily net capital, work with FINOP and trading desks to manage net capital needs.
- Maintain documentation of all close processes, accounting policies, and regulatory filings to support audit and compliance readiness.
- Respond to ad-hoc requests as needed, and support ongoing department process improvement initiatives.
What you’ll need for this role:
- Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance required; CPA preferred.
- Minimum 5 years of accounting experience with at least 2 years focused on broker-dealer accounting.
- Willingness to pass Series 27 exam within one year of joining.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills to coordinate cross-functional teams effectively.
- High level of integrity, attention to detail, and ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
- Experience coordinating with trade operations or back-office functions a plus.
The annual base salary range for this position is $110,000 to $135,000 depending on the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and relevant skill set. The position is also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus. In addition, DRW offers a comprehensive suite of employee benefits including group medical, pharmacy, dental and vision insurance, 401k (with discretionary employer match), short and long-term disability, life and AD&D insurance, health savings accounts, and flexible spending accounts.
