Position Summary 

The Account Manager/Client Service Manager is the operational backbone of both Encore Wealth Advisors (EWA) and Encore Consultants (EC), executing client-facing and back-office work so the advisors can stay focused on relationships and strategy. This role touches CRM management, compliance documentation, custodial trading/account operations, and general office administration. No prior industry experience is required — the right person is a fast learner with strong instincts for priorities, people, and technology, and is comfortable working independently once trained.
