• Financial planners / advisers
• Lawyers and aligned referral networks

• Appointment setter support to keep meetings flowing
• Visible, high-impact role in a growing business
• Quarterly uncapped commission with strong earning potential

This is an autonomous role, but not an isolated one. The Founders and Directors are highly accessible and collaborative, and will join meetings where their involvement adds value—helping you strengthen relationships and convert the right opportunities.
