Client Operations & Asset Transfer Specialist (Part-Time)

This is a remote position.

About Financial Serenity

Financial Serenity is a faith-driven, independent financial planning firm focused on helping families make wise, intentional financial decisions with clarity and peace.

My name is Ian Powell and I'm looking to hire a Part-Time Client Operations & Asset Transfer Specialist (The Person Who Makes the Paperwork Behave).

I am a Financial Planner. I love people, strategy, and vision.

I hate paperwork.

And unfortunately… it shows.

This role exists because my clients deserve operational excellence—and because great paperwork is great client care.

Role Summary

This is a part-time, remote role (starting at ~5 hours per week) for someone who already knows how to move assets and keep financial operations running smoothly.

Your mission is simple:

Support the Financial Planner by executing asset transfers, opening accounts, maintaining the CRM, scheduling meetings, and ensuring client follow-up actually happens.

This position will grow as the firm grows.

Key Responsibilities

Client & Account Operations

• Process and manage asset transfers, including:
  

  • 401(k) → IRA rollovers
    

  • Brokerage-to-brokerage transfers
    

  • New account openings and funding
    

• Track transfers through completion and proactively follow up
  

• Ensure clients understand what’s happening and what’s next
  

CRM & Workflow Management

• Maintain accurate records in Zoho CRM (big plus if you already use it)
  

• Update tasks, workflows, and notes
  

• Ensure nothing stalls due to missed follow-up
  

Scheduling & Communication

• Schedule client meetings
  

• Make outbound calls to move things forward
  

• Return voicemails promptly
  

  (This is not a receptionist role—but phones matter.)
  

• Communicate clearly, professionally, and efficiently
  

  (Warm, not chatty. Direct, not robotic.)
  

Tools & Technology

• Confident using:
  

  • CRM systems
    

  • Email & calendars
    

  • Digital forms and document portals
    

  • AI tools to improve productivity
    

• Work exclusively on a company-provided Chromebook and mobile phone
  

  (Monitored and archived for compliance.)
  

What This Role Is (and Isn’t)

This role IS:

• Detail-heavy
  

• Process-driven
  

• Paperwork-centric
  

• Client-impacting
  

This role is NOT:

• Entry-level
  

• A “learn financial ops from scratch” position
  

• A job for someone who dislikes paperwork
  

If paperwork drains you, this role will feel painful.

If you enjoy turning complexity into order, you’ll thrive.

Requirements

You must have:

• Proven experience moving assets, including:
  

  • 401(k) rollovers to IRAs
    

  • Brokerage account transfers
    

• Comfort making phone calls when needed
  

• Strong organizational skills and follow-through
  

• Experience with digital tools (Zoho CRM, email, calendars (Google Workspace))
  

• Ability to work independently with limited weekly hours
  

• U.S. citizenship and residence in the U.S.
  

  (Military spouses stationed abroad are welcome.)
  

Strong pluses:

• Zoho CRM experience
  

• Financial services / RIA / custodian background
  

• Operations, client service, or back-office experience
  

Who You’ll Work Well With

You’ll succeed here if you are:

• Coachable and eager to learn
  

• Hungry for growth—but respectful of boundaries

• Comfortable working with a founder who:
  

  • Is fair
    

  • Expects effort
    

  • Is learning how to build a team
    

  • Cares deeply about clients and quality of work
    

Compensation

• $25–$35 per hour, depending on experience
  

• We are specifically looking for someone we can confidently pay $35/hour because they truly know their craft
  

• Hours tracked and paid monthly
  

Work Structure & Growth

• Hours: ~5 hours/week to start
  

• Location: Remote (Burleson, TX is a plus)
  

• Growth Path Includes:
  

  • Increased hours
    

  • Expanded operational responsibilities
    

  • Potential future involvement in bookkeeping, payroll processing, and firm operations
    

  • Possible in-person role in the future (not replacing this position)
