• Interpret tax returns, financial statements, and notices of assessment to normalize earnings.

• Stay well organised in managing significant workloads, ensuring clear notes and records are kept for every file.

Communication & Team Support

• Liaise with lenders, credit teams, BDMs, and clients.
• Maintain a high level of communication and flexibility when supporting differing mortgage brokers in the team.
• Maintain professional, clear, and confident spoken English.
