Job description

In an increasingly complex world where people are starving for someone they can trust, we stand for something simple: always put the client first. We do well by doing good for those we serve. It’s the ultimate measure. We believe in providing value beyond a doubt and in the notion that time will either expose you or promote you, based on your willingness to embrace change.

We serve financial advisors and investors through three entities, each headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska: Carson Wealth, Carson Coaching and Carson Partners. We provide coaching and partnership services to advisor firms – and straightforward financial advice to the investing public. We all share a common mission to be the most trusted in financial advice.

Who We Want

Deliver ongoing client service and support that strengthens relationships and enhances the overall client experience. Partner with advisors as the primary operational resource to determine and complete actions required to open new accounts and maintain existing accounts accurately and on time. Build familiarity with the advisor’s book of business while managing time effectively and developing new competencies to support efficient, compliant operations.

• Client & Advisor Support: Provide white-glove communication to clients and advisors through phone, email, and meetings. Serve as a professional point of contact with custodians and ensure compliance with periodic client review requirements.
• Account Administration: Prepare and process paperwork for new accounts, cashiering, transfers, and account maintenance requests. Take ownership of asset transfers to ensure seamless and timely completion. Execute accurate money movements per advisor or client requests while maintaining documentation and compliance standards.
• Client Experience & Front Office Management:Greet and assist clients, prospects, vendors, and employees in person and via phone, email, and text. Ensure the lobby and conference rooms are prepared for meetings, maintaining cleanliness, comfort, and professionalism. Manage phone greetings, call routing, and scheduling support to create seamless, high-quality interactions from arrival to departure. Oversee day-to-day office logistics, including mail distribution, supply management, and coordination with vendors and facilities.
• Client Engagement & Marketing Support: Support client engagement initiatives, including event and seminar logistics, client appreciation touchpoints (birthdays, anniversaries, milestones), and gifting programs. Assist with maintaining marketing materials and office branding, and support execution of local marketing campaigns in partnership with the firm's marketing resources.
• Data & Records Management: Maintain accurate and complete client information in firm databases and systems. Update client records promptly and ensure information integrity across platforms.
• Project & Workflow Support: Follow established guidelines to achieve goals and deliverables in collaboration with leaders and stakeholders. Set and meet project expectations with team members, delegate tasks appropriately, and track progress to completion.
• Process Improvement: Assist in developing procedures that increase accuracy and streamline operational steps. Identify opportunities to simplify workflows and enhance consistency.
• Other Duties: Perform additional tasks, duties, and responsibilities as needed or assigned by leadership to support departmental and organizational objectives.
