Much More Than Money is a financial advice and broker business with offices in Canberra and Sydney. We approach financial advice by placing our focus not on the size of our client’s portfolio’s but instead on their core values and goals. We partner with our clients through their life journey to ensure they get a return on life, not just a return on investment. Increasing value is what we do, but we also give back.  A cornerstone of our philosophy is supporting the communities in which we operate, donating a percentage of after-tax profit to charities. 

We’ve been around for more than 20 years and we are accelerating our growth.  Although we’re considered a larger advice practice, we are a family values-based business and work hard to ensure we have a great culture for our team where people feel genuinely valued and have the opportunity to showcase their strengths. 

As part of our growth, we are expanding our team. We need a Senior Associate to join us as we continue to build Much. 

In this role, you’ll be working closely with our Senior Advisers and team members to provide ongoing support and service to our clients, ensuring their affairs are proactively planned and managed to optimise their financial position.  Your responsibilities will include client meeting preparation incorporating agenda construction, reviewing strategies and investments and ensuring client files remain compliant.  You’ll attend and participate in client meetings and be responsible for the completion of post meeting work including file notes and implementation.  You’ll undertake the management of client strategies and advice incorporating the preparation and implementation of applications, submission and tracking of insurance applications, and liaison with external product providers and government departments.  You’ll also be looking after the preparation of client files for our paraplanning team.
