• Prepare, review, and process transition documentation and account opening paperwork to ensure accuracy and completeness.
• Coordinate with internal Tax, Estate, Financial Planning, Operations, and Insurance teams to complete account setups and service changes.
• Proactively follow up on missing items, keep advisors informed, and provide regular status updates to internal stakeholders.

What you bring

• 3+ years of experience in financial services, wealth management, or banking (advisor support, branch administration, transition/onboarding, or operations strongly preferred).
• Strong familiarity with investment and registered account types, transfer processes, and general wealth management concepts.
• Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills; comfortable managing many moving pieces at once.
• Clear, confident written and verbal communication with advisors, clients, and internal teams.
• Ability to work full‑time, on‑site in downtown Toronto.
• Progress toward or completion of CSC or CIM is a strong asset.
