• Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, & Teams)
• Above-average computer literacy & software skills and proficiency with learning new software.

Job Description:

While you’ll be working with our entire team, this is primarily an administrative support role for our Lead Advisor and Financial Planner.  Day-to-day tasks will include scheduling client meetings, general client correspondence, client onboarding, preparing & sending custodial paperwork, and tracking follow-up items.  The CSA may also assist with one-off operational projects as needed, such as data updates within our portfolio management platform or creating efficient workflow processes within our CRM.

Our team is small but mighty – we stay as efficient as possible by utilizing technology in all aspects of our business.  To be successful in this position, candidates must be computer savvy and consider themselves capable of learning new software quickly, or already have experience with technology such as Redtail CRM, Schwab, DocuSign, Calendly, and/or LaserApp.

This position has the opportunity to become full-time with career growth within the firm.  We’d love to learn more about your future goals (now and as they continue to develop) for the potential to move into more advanced Client Service roles or to explore other Financial Planning pathways.  There are no sales or business development requirements for this position.
