You will play a key role in onboarding new clients, preparing documentation, maintaining client accounts, and supporting advisors across all areas of client service. You will also serve as a primary liaison between the firm and its custodial partners, ensuring seamless operations and delivering an exceptional client experience.

• Discretionary bonuses
• 4 weeks of PTO from day one
