• Financial Coordinator

  • Jul 2022 - Present

  As a financial coordinator, I connected high-profile professionals throughout Latin America with unique and exclusive investment products that were tax-efficient and highly regulated in Europe. I worked closely with my Senior Partner to ensure that our clients' financial goals and investment needs were met. In order to do this, I had to have a deep understanding of the investment regulations in Europe and be knowledgeable about the different investment platforms available to our clients. I analyzed and monitored the investments closely and was responsible for all paperwork related to the investments. Additionally, I provided excellent client servicing to our large book of clients, maintaining close communication with the Life Insurance companies to ensure that any updates or changes to their policies were promptly addressed. My role required strong attention to detail and the ability to navigate complex financial regulations with ease. Show less
