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 (ThePerson 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 acompany-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

  • Proactive, detail-oriented, and allergic to loose ends

  • Someone who believes there is always something useful to do

  • 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)


Benefits

Benefits

  • Your paycheck clears

  • Flexible part-time schedule

  • Meaningful work that helps real people

  • Growth alongside a growing firm

  • A genuinely great company culture (yes, really)

How to Stand Out
