About Falcon Square Capital Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Raleigh, NC, Falcon Square Capital is a 100% employee‑owned institutional fixed income broker‑dealer serving asset managers, registered investment advisors, corporations, municipalities, and other fiduciary investors nationwide. The firm’s four original partners continue to actively lead the business today, maintaining a culture grounded in integrity, market expertise, and client alignment.
Falcon Square Capital provides a full‑spectrum fixed income platform—covering corporates, municipals, treasuries, agencies, mortgage‑backed and structured products—delivering institutional‑grade trade execution, portfolio solutions, and market insight. With more than a decade of consistent growth, the firm now partners with over 350 institutional clients, up from 90 at inception.
About EVOLVE Fixed Income Solutions EVOLVE is Falcon Square Capital’s advisor‑centric platform designed to help financial advisors deliver institutional‑quality fixed income strategies with full customization and transparency. EVOLVE serves as a bridge between institutional market access and personalized portfolio construction, empowering advisors to build portfolios that align precisely with each client’s goals, timelines, and tax considerations—without being confined to preset models or packaged products.
Through EVOLVE, advisors gain:
True customization and direct collaboration with Falcon Square’s senior fixed income team
Institutional execution and access to a broad network of liquidity providers
Operational efficiency and seamless integration into their existing workflows
A partnership model focused on advisor empowerment, not product distribution

Support Fixed Income Strategists with daily reconciliations of accounts, trades, and positions

Series 7 license preferred; otherwise, must be obtained within 90 days of employment (firm sponsorship provided)
Strong attention to detail and a naturally analytical, inquisitive mindset
Demonstrated initiative and intellectual curiosity about financial markets
Excellent organizational and communication skills
Prior internship or 1–3 years of experience in financial markets, operations, or data analysis is helpful but not required
Why Falcon Square Capital
Collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where curiosity and precision are valued
Exposure to portfolio management, market structure, and trading workflows
Mentorship and a clear career progression path for high‑performing team members
