A career as a Senior Estate Planning Advisor at National Bank Financial (NBF) primarily involves supporting NBF clients and Investment Advisors (IAs) with their estate planning needs by providing general or specific information. In other words, it's a rare 100% consulting position without the reception or drafting of notarial acts! The mission of the department is to offer high-quality expertise and services in succession, retirement, and taxation.

Your Role

Become one of the key references in estate planning for the client advisory team of one of the largest asset management firms in Quebec!
Based in the Montreal North shore region offices of NBF, you will collaborate with your colleagues (financial and estate planners) to support the region's IAs and clients in estate planning.
Conduct client interviews, establish a trust relationship with them, and draft detailed estate planning recommendations tailored to each high-net-worth client’s needs.
Be a team player and maintain relationships with numerous internal and external stakeholders.
Manage several complex cases with tight deadlines in a constantly evolving environment.
Prepare and deliver training sessions on estate planning to investment advisors.
Identify and develop business opportunities for all services and products offered by National Bank Financial.
Stay at the forefront of new developments in your field to determine the directions to follow to continue evolving processes, systems, and methods in a perspective of continuous improvement.
Understand business issues and, above all, participate in the development of practical solutions.
