Job Description

Client Service Associate

Full-Time | In-Person | State College, PA

Some offices feel like a revolving door. Strong Tower Associates isn't one of them. We're a small, close-knit financial planning firm in State College, and we're hiring an experienced Client Service Associate to keep our operations running smoothly and our clients well taken care of.

What You'll Do

You'll be a key part of the operational backbone of our practice, supporting our advisors and agents so they can focus on their clients. Day to day, that looks like:

• Preparing and organizing client documents and correspondence
• Completing paperwork with clients and tracking it from start to finish
• Scheduling appointments and managing calendars across the team
• Supporting office operations and keeping administrative workflows on track
• Helping coordinate client events and educational workshops
• Greeting clients and answering phones as part of the broader office team

Requirements

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

• 3+ years in a CSA, administrative, or client service role in a financial services or advisory firm
• Hands-on experience with financial paperwork, client documentation, and office workflows
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tasks in a multi-step process without dropping the ball
• Comfortable owning your work independently with minimal supervision
• Genuine warmth and a service-first mindset
• Professionalism you'd be proud to put in front of any client

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with CRM software or office management tools
• Health and life insurance license, Series 7, or other financial services licensing
• Experience supporting multiple advisors or a team-based practice

A Note on Licensing

If you don't already hold a Series 7 or insurance license, we'll support you in getting there. There's a pay increase that comes with it.
