About the Role – What You’ll Actually Be Doing

This role is the operational engine behind our financial advice process. You’ll be the first point of contact for clients, making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. From scheduling appointments and preparing client documents, to managing follow-ups and ensuring advice is implemented accurately, your job is to support the client journey from start to finish. There is an opportunity to further develop your skills in our paraplanning department, suitable for candidates who are looking for a career in financial planning.

You’ll work hand-in-hand with both advisers and paraplanners to ensure nothing falls through the cracks and the client experience is seamless.

Key Responsibilities (Day-to-Day Reality)

Coordinate client meetings across multiple adviser calendars, confirm details with clients, and make sure they receive all relevant documents beforehand.

Stay across adviser and paraplanner follow-up tasks post-meeting, ensuring nothing is missed and timeframes are met.

Process signed advice documents (e.g., Authority to Proceed forms), Annual Advice Agreements, client transaction requests, initiate product applications, update client data in Xplan, and liaise with product providers where needed.

Review Process Support

Help prepare client review packs, track when reviews are due, and coordinate the flow of review documentation between the adviser and paraplanner teams.

Be a friendly,
