Experience
April 2018 - Present
Various roles, Anderson Financial Management, Bristol
I assist Chartered Financial Planners by writing their client proposals and submitting business through the St. James’s Platform for high-net-worth clients. I have developed my technical knowledge, attention to detail and ability to manage deadlines.
I take great pride in resolving client issues, as customer service is paramount and as a result, I have been rewarded with great client relationships. As part of a small team I am used to an ‘all hands on’ approach, assisting members of my team with various tasks, which has allowed me to gain exposure to other areas outside of my role.
