About us
Become Wealth is a Christchurch and Auckland-based financial services firm, licensed as both a Financial Advice Provider and a Discretionary Investment Management Service. We help clients with investments, KiwiSaver, insurance, retirement planning and lending, and we're building long-term relationships through advice that genuinely fits each client's situation.
The role
You'll work alongside our Financial Advisers as a specialist support to the advice process, with a strong focus on mortgage and lending. About half the role is lending work, and the rest is advice preparation, investment administration and AML/CFT compliance.
What you'll do
- Analyse client information — payslips, IR summaries, bank statements, self-employed financials, deposit evidence and property information — against lenders' credit and servicing policy
- Prepare and submit home loan and investment property applications to main banks and non-bank lenders, including servicing and affordability calculations
- Act as the day-to-day contact with bank BDMs and lender assessment teams, responding to conditions and managing applications through to settlement
- Monitor fixed rate roll-offs and prepare refinance and repricing reviews
- Conduct customer due diligence, including identity verification, source of wealth and funds enquiries, and customer risk rating under the AML/CFT Act
- Prepare statements of advice and paraplanning using goal planning software
- Administer client investment portfolios on the KiwiWRAP platform, including account setup and rebalancing to model portfolios
- Maintain client records and workflow in our CRM, and prepare documentation for adviser meetings
