Client Services - SMSF Division

• Jun 2012 - Dec 2013

In my year and a half of working in the Client Services division of the SMSF side of JBS Financial Strategists, I learned a lot about the day to day running of a Self-Managed Super Fund and what it took to set one up.But the most important thing about this role, wasn't all the applications I had to fill in, or the folders I had to prepare for the client meetings, but it was the experience I had talking and liaising with clients. Forming a relationship with clients is an integral part of working in a services based industry and this role taught me the importance of providing the best service to clients.It also helped me build my knowledge of Self-Managed Super Funds and has set me up with the knowledge to undertake my current role at JBS as a Paraplanner on the Self-Managed Super Fund side.
