ARQ Wealth Advisors is a fast-growing, boutique, independent wealth management firm based in Scottsdale, Arizona, overseeing ~$1.2B in client assets. We provide comprehensive investment management and financial planning with a focus on delivering a high-quality client experience.

The Portfolio Administrator Role

We are seeking an experienced, detail-oriented Portfolio Administrator to join our investment operations team. This role sits at the intersection of data integrity, reporting, and trading support, ensuring that all client and advisor data is accurate, consistent, and reliable. This is not a basic ops role. We are looking for someone who understands how portfolio data flows through systems, where it breaks, and how to proactively fix issues before they become client-facing. At ARQ, you’ll have the opportunity to build your career at a firm that values your growth, both professionally and financially.

Responsibilities:

Account Administration

Set up and maintain client accounts across custodial platforms

Data Integrity & Reconciliation

Audit and maintain portfolio data across systems (Tamarac, CRM, custodians)

Identify and resolve discrepancies (pricing, transactions, cash, performance)

Build proactive checks and reporting controls

Security Setup & Classification

Maintain security master data (asset class, sector, benchmarks)

Ensure consistency across reporting, trading, and performance

Partner with investment team on proper classification

Trading & Cash Support

Support traders with cash raises, flows, and rebalancing

Reconcile trades and monitor cash/settlement activity

Performance & Reporting

Audit performance and investigate outliers

Ensure accurate client reporting (including proper TWR vs IRR usage), including the creation of all client reports on a quarterly basis

Maintain clean, presentation-ready outputs

Systems & Process Improvement

Improve workflows across Tamarac, CRM, and custodians

Build scalable processes to reduce errors and manual work

Serve as a resource for data-related issues across the firm

Position Requirements:

Experience:

3–7+ years in investment operations or portfolio administration

Strong understanding of portfolio accounting, performance, and data flows

Systems Expertise (Preferred):

Envestnet/Tamarac experience (or other data management and reporting systems)

PortfolioCenter experience

Familiarity with Schwab, Fidelity, and CRM systems

Skills:

Strong Excel and data analysis skills

High attention to detail; strong problem-solving mindset

Ability to build repeatable processes

Professional Attributes: We are looking for a self-starter with an ownership mentality; your role is to take responsibility for data quality across the firm. You will need to be a highly collaborative person; we are a highly engaged team of 18 professionals, and your daily responsibilities will include interacting with leadership, advisors, traders, client services, and operations. You should be a clear communicator; explaining issues and resolutions succinctly is a big piece of the work you will do.

Education / Credentials (Preferred):

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Finance or related field

Professional certifications or interest in pursuing designations is a plus
