You'll coordinate client service requests, prepare account paperwork, work directly with custodians, and help ensure requests are completed accurately and efficiently. While much of your work happens behind the scenes, your contributions have a direct impact on the advisors we support and the clients they serve.

• Assist advisors with client meeting preparation and follow-up.
• Collaborate with internal departments to ensure timely and accurate completion of requests.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes and enhance the advisor experience.
• Deliver timely, accurate, and professional service while managing multiple priorities.

The ideal candidate is organized, dependable, and enjoys helping others succeed. You're someone who takes ownership of your work, communicates well, and thrives in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment.

• Experience in wealth management, financial services, banking, or a related industry.
• Familiarity with brokerage and advisory account types and account servicing.
• Experience working with custodians such as Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing, or similar institutions.
• Experience preparing or processing new account paperwork, account maintenance requests, transfers, or money movement requests.
• Experience using CRM or workflow systems in a professional services environment.
• Strong organizational and time management skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• A collaborative, client-first mindset and commitment to delivering outstanding service.

Candidates without direct wealth management experience will also be considered if they demonstrate exceptional customer service skills, strong administrative abilities, and a genuine desire to build a long-term career in the financial services industry.

At IFP, you'll become part of a collaborative team that believes in continuous improvement, innovation, and investing in our people. You'll have the opportunity to learn the wealth management industry, develop valuable operational expertise, and grow your career within a dynamic and expanding organization.
