We value people who take ownership of their work, approach challenges with a positive, can-do attitude and genuinely enjoy working as part of a team.

While technical knowledge is important, we believe skills can be developed through training and experience. What matters most is your willingness to learn, ability to accept feedback and commitment to delivering quality work.

We offer a supportive, fully remote working environment where your contribution is valued and your professional development is encouraged.

• 100% Remote Work – Work from the comfort of your home.

• Competitive Salary – Based on experience and capabilities.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will work closely with financial advisers and the paraplanning team to research, develop and prepare financial advice for Australian clients.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Research financial strategies and products across superannuation, pensions, retirement planning, investments and personal insurance.
• Complete financial modelling, calculations and projections to support advice recommendations.
• Review client information, identify inconsistencies and seek clarification where required.
• Liaise with product providers to obtain information and confirm product requirements.
• Maintain accurate client records and supporting research documentation.
• Use AI tools responsibly to support research, advice preparation and workflow efficiency, while verifying the accuracy of your work.
• Work collaboratively with advisers and team members to meet deadlines and maintain quality standards.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has a positive, can-do attitude and is willing to take on challenges.
• Is a genuine team player who supports colleagues and contributes to a respectful working environment.
• Takes ownership of their responsibilities and follows through on commitments.
• Is open to feedback, willing to learn and comfortable asking questions.
• Demonstrates initiative, good judgement and attention to detail.

• Experience using financial planning software such as Xplan, AdviserLogic, Intelliflo or similar.
• Good Microsoft Word and Excel skills.
