Responsibilities We'll Trust You With

Your primary role will be helping Eric serve our clients by making sure, and then double checking, that nothing slips through the cracks. This will be accomplished through a variety of responsibilities including:

  • Managing inbound client emails and assigning the related tasks to the appropriate team member. 
  • Drafting outbound emails so Eric can quickly review and hit send.
  • Managing our office calendar and scheduling client meetings and phone calls.

These responsibilities are to be completed according to our internal core values:

Love

We love our clients and will be known by that love. We do a lot for our clients, but if we don't have love, then we are nothing.

Stewardship

Decisions and resources have been placed in our care and clients trust us to act in their long-term interest based on how well we know them, the information available, our expertise, and our experience.

Details

We are in the details business, and we will excel at providing timely, correct, and useful information to clients that are paying for premium professional services.

Curiosity

Each of our clients is unique and has their own "why". Our role is to find out what that is while encouraging them to pursue it with contentment and generosity. We will also seek out the best possible solutions to the questions they ask and the challenges they face.

Communication

Clear, consistent, and correct communication increases our clients' trust and allows them to focus on what matters most.

We are looking for someone to be a trusted partner, able to help Eric get the most important things completed. This would be someone who can anticipate issues, figure out the next best thing to do, and accomplishing things in a timely manner.

Compensation

  • $35 per hour
  • 401(k) with 6% match and profit sharing

Why G&F

Our mission is to help people pursue contentment and generosity through purposeful wealth management.

We believe that money is a tool. You can use money to Live today, Give it away, Grow it for the future or Owe it to pay off debt. Imbedded in this belief is an understanding that each of us is to be a steward of what we have been entrusted with. Our aim is to help our clients be good stewards by providing them with wise counsel and exceptional service.

We are looking for someone who wholeheartedly agrees with this mission and will do their best each day to help us in that endeavor.
