Job Description

Job Description

We pride ourselves on providing high-touch, hyper-personalized client service—and that starts with caring deeply for our team.

Because our practice is growing, we are looking for a dedicated Financial Advisor Assistant to join our close-knit team.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Reclaim Your Time: Work locally in Lynbrook. Say goodbye to the daily LIRR commute, subway delays, and high-stress Manhattan office cultures.

• You are proactive: You anticipate advisor needs before client meetings rather than waiting for instructions.

• You are meticulous: You know that in financial services, a single missed checkbox or outdated note matters. Your note-taking and file organization are flawless.

• You are a great communicator: You enjoy picking up the phone, building warm rapport with clients, and making them feel cared for during major life transitions.

Key Responsibilities

• Primary Client Liaison: Handle incoming service calls with professionalism, empathy, and clarity regarding financial planning, investment accounts, and insurance products.

• Account Onboarding & Processing: Draft, review, execute, and track all client onboarding documentation, account setups, transfers, and distribution requests.

• Tech Savvy: High proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook) and financial CRM platforms.
