Attend client meetings as needed and draft financial plan summary letters for clients and their trusted advisors. Respond to planning-related questions and support follow-up actions.

• Reporting, Presentations & Tools: Create and modify presentation materials and reports to clearly communicate financial plan outcomes. Review and suggest enhancements to systems and workflows to improve the financial planning experience and efficiency.
• Other Duties: Perform additional tasks, duties, and responsibilities as needed or assigned by leadership to support departmental and organizational objectives.
