About Brainbox

Brainbox is different from every other BPO. It's not just the amazing culture, strong brand, loyal customers, and talented staff - it is deeper than that. The Brainbox core value of 'Always Be Kind' is embedded in every policy, decision, and every day. We develop our people, and the Philippines management team is all Filipinos. Everything we do aims to provide people with a work culture that helps them improve every single day. From unlimited training to HMO benefits from day 1, we want our people to love what they do and become the best versions of themselves.

We are looking for an Administrative Assistant who will take ownership of the day-to-day planning and administration work for an Australian financial advice and mortgage practice, so that advisers can spend their time on client meetings and advice rather than paperwork.

• Run home loan administration compliance checks and send associated client emails.
• Conduct compliance reviews on client files and record what was checked.
• Support advisers with client reviews, financial plans, reports, client emails and basic Statements of Advice.
• Issue client welcome packs and compliance documentation.
• Open and distribute daily email, answer client administrative enquiries, and make follow-up calls to new clients.
• Coordinate adviser appointments and maintain the client review schedule.
• Download prospectuses and customer information brochures as required.
• Reconcile brokerage and commission reports.
• Coordinate client invoicing and maintain accounts receivable and payable.
• Coordinate mail merges, direct marketing, client seminars and newsletter mailings
