Job Description Job description Do you create scary detailed to-do lists and love crushing tasks ahead of schedule? Are you obnoxiously curious who isn’t afraid to ask questions and will run through walls to seek out answers? Does juggling multiple dynamic projects while learning multiple languages like tax-ese, legal-ese, and investment-ese sound like a great time? Do you love working in a high-energy team environment for a small organization where everyone’s contribution and opinion actually matters? If so, our Client Operations Coordinator role may be for you. COMPANY Mosaic serves Texas-based entrepreneurial families. Mosaic was built on a unique business model – to provide unbiased, comprehensive advice in exchange for a fixed quarterly fee. We don’t manage money for a fee, sell insurance products, draft legal documents, or prepare tax returns. By completely aligning our financial incentives with our client’s interests, we can neutralize professional egos, eliminate conflicts of interest, and remain agnostic as to the makeup of our client's outside advisory team. As a result, we don’t compete with other advisors, we complement them. Mosaic is far from stuffy - we work hard to cultivate a culture full of laughs, respect, and humility. Company outings, regular educational and team-building opportunities, and a pantry full of snacks are small examples of the tight-knit team we have.

Our average client family is a first-generation wealth creator with the majority of their net worth tied to their operating company. Mosaic charges a flat monthly retainer in exchange for actionable advice. We don’t sell anything. No life insurance. No investment management for a fee. No tax return preparation. No legal drafting. No project-based work. No hourly rates. No contracts. Further, we are not a Family Office, we don’t pay bills, perform accounting, complete lifestyle tasks, or fulfill administrative responsibilities. At any point of the engagement, should a client family no longer perceive value, they can immediately terminate the relationship. This approach allows us to be uniquely collaborative, uncommonly comprehensive, & completely objective. Consequently, we don’t compete with existing advisors, we complement them. As a result, unlike any professional advisor we are aware of, there are absolutely no conflicts, surprises, or “gotchas”. We believe this complete transparency and direct financial alignment is the only way for client families to ensure absolute objectivity. Our primary role is akin to that of a General Contractor but instead of plumbers and electricians, we collaborate with Attorneys, CPAs, bankers, and Investment Advisors. Due to our unique approach and narrow focus, we have found that Mosaic is best suited for a family once they surpass at least one of the following thresholds. -\tAnnual business revenue of $50MM -\tAnnual income of $10MM (e.g., including business EBITDA, rental income, investment income, salary, and bonus) -\tNet Worth of $50MM (e.g., including illiquid holdings such as operating business, real estate, oil & gas interests, and private investments) Once a family has been referred to Mosaic, we only accept new client families after exploring shared vision, values, and priorities. Further, we limit the number of new engagements we accept each year to 4. This way, we can ensure that we add extraordinary value.Mosaic serves a handful Texas based entrepreneurial families with significant illiquid holdings. \r\n \r\nOur average client family is a first-generation wealth creator with the majority of their net worth tied to their operating company. \r\n \r\nMosaic charges a flat monthly retainer in exchange for actionable advice.
