Superannuation Consultant

A Superannuation Consultant provides clients with advice on superannuation products and services. You might meet with clients to discuss their financial goals and come up with strategies to meet their needs. A Superannuation Consultant, or Superannuation Advisor, might explore various fund options and make recommendations based on their clients’ individual circumstances.

Superannuation Consultants should have good analytical skills and a strong knowledge of financial products and services. It’s important you can communicate well with clients and understand their future needs. Superannuation Consultants should be organised and able to work with several clients at one time.
