Investment Analyst

If you’re a CFA who loves digging into investments, optimizing portfolios, and explaining complex financial ideas in plain English—we should talk.

At Mosaic, we serve entrepreneurial families navigating messy, meaningful financial lives. We take a Total Balance Sheet approach—blending liquid and illiquid assets, optimizing for taxes, and coordinating across advisors with no sales pressure and no proprietary products.

This role isn’t for everyone. But if any of the below sounds like you, read on:

You think spreadsheets are beautiful.

You dream in to-do lists and version control.

You believe “what do they own, and why?” is one of the most under-asked questions in investing.

You love complex documents, detailed analysis, and making models that don’t break.

You’re wired to communicate clearly and help others make better decisions.

What You’ll Actually Do

Diligence & Analysis

Deep-dive into both liquid and illiquid investment opportunities—funds, SMAs, direct deals, real estate, and more.

Stress-test financial models, identify risks, and make tax-aware recommendations.

Analyze legal structures, offering docs, and portfolio construction.

Client Reviews & Communication

Lead monthly portfolio reviews across 5–10 families.

Translate technical insights into clear, actionable recommendations.

Work with Addepar to run performance and allocation reports.

Manager Engagement

Evaluate third-party managers and build RFPs.

Maintain strong relationships across investment platforms.

Strategy & Oversight

Develop and maintain Investment Policy Statements (IPS) using our “Total Balance Sheet” lens.
