Your new Opportunity:
Are you looking for a challenging role that offers broad exposure to all facets of financial advice and planning?

Then this is the opportunity you've been waiting for

What makes you 'just right':

• A degree in Commerce, Economics, or a related discipline (preferred)
• 2+ years of experience in financial planning/advice, superannuation consulting, technical roles, or accounting
