Role Description

Want to be part of a team that helps create better, more fulfilling lives for clients?

At Focused Wealth Advisors, we help people create the retirement they dream of by carefully stewarding their resources and working to lower how much tax they have to pay through careful long-term planning. We are a fee-based financial advisory firm that designs and implements comprehensive retirement strategies.

Are you good at helping people feel cared for? Can you persevere with vendors who struggle to do a competent job to make sure the right thing gets done for the client? Are you that smiling face and lilting voice that clients enjoy talking to? Then you might be the right candidate for the administrative assistant we are looking for.

Money is a sensitive topic for most people, even more so when they experience a major life event or prepare to live off the nest egg they have accumulated. Financial topics can be complicated and confusing. Evaluating all the issues that affect people’s financial lives is a challenge but it is only half the job. We also have to carry out our roles and interact with clients in a way that expresses empathy, demonstrates that we will take good care of them, and builds trust. The administrative assistant is often the first and most frequent member of the team to interact with clients and needs to embody these traits.

The ideal candidate is a problem solver with excellent communication skills and unfailing attention to detail.
