ABOUT THE ROLE

The Verve Group are seeking an experienced financial administrator to enhance and support our existing outsourced administration and paraplanning offering. We have a number of financial planner and adviser clients who use us for their administration and paraplanning needs and due to high demand we are expanding our team.
We’re looking for a hardworking and enthusiastic candidate to join our dynamic team and to help with our mission of changing the face of finance. Once thought of as pale and stale and full of grey suits, The Verve Group is dynamic, fresh, diverse and on a mission to break the stereotypes.
This role encompasses a wide range of financial administrative duties, along with some research and writing tasks. You will form part of the foundation of a larger team, being a mix of paraplanners, technical experts and administrators so the role asks for someone who is a team player, contributor and someone who embodies our “got your back” ethic.
Ideally, we are looking for someone who has some experience in an IFA practice so you can bring all of your knowledge to complement the outsourced offering and enhance the current administration package that we offer to our clients while rounding out the existing team.
We are happy to consider full-time and part-time opportunities in this role.

DUTIES AND EXPECTATIONS WILL INCLUDE:

• Accurately and efficiently compiling data gathering on a range of finance plan and policy types (such as pensions and investments). A very high attention to detail is crucial in this role.
• Strong computer, numeracy and written skills. Be able to excel at Excel and know the word on Word.
• Compilation of a range of documentation and preparing and checking files.
• Preparing annual reviews for a number of clients.
• Conducting technical research where necessary, using a variety of platforms and online technology.
• Confidently dealing with providers and advisers, via a range of communication methods. Showing a high level of customer service.
• Working in a busy environment, to deadlines and completing the appropriate number of tasks in set timeframes to meet targets.
• Thoroughly and consistently updating our specialised project management system, Dextera.
• Being a strong team member, being able to work both as part of the paraplanning and administration team, but also assisting other team members where needed, and supporting a range of firms.
  As a crucial role, it is important to be flexible, to bring ideas and creativity and to help us develop this role even further within The Verve Group and in the wider finance community.
