Example work sample
Reconcile a sample trade blotter against a statement, flag the exceptions and explain each one in a short note.
Samples use sample data and take about an hour. We can align them with your own assessment.
Roles that involve selling securities or giving investment advice usually require FINRA registration and state licensing. We submit candidates for those roles only when they hold the registration the role requires, or when you have agreed to sponsor it.
