A day in the life of Senior Client Administrator, Saiqa Khan

Welcome to Logic’s “day in the life” series, where you can learn more about the people at Logic Financial Services, and find out what we do at work and home.

This month, meet Saiqa Khan, our Senior Client Administrator and self-appointed chief washer-upper, because she loves a good potter.

What time do you wake up and do you have a tried-and-tested morning routine?

Waking up at 5.30 am is the most peaceful time of the day for me, before my children wake up.

I start by taking a few deep breaths, stretching lightly to wake up my body.

How’s the commute? Do you use public transport, drive, walk, or cycle to work?

My work commute involves driving, which gives me a bit of personal time before the day truly begins.

Once I’m on the road, I enjoy listening to music or a podcast.

What are your primary responsibilities?

My primary responsibilities include supporting Logic’s financial advisers with day-to-day administrative tasks to ensure smooth client service.

I manage client records, prepare and process documentation for investments, pensions, and insurance products, and handle correspondence with clients and providers.

I like to potter around, so I also take responsibility for washing the dishes, which gives me thinking time, and a pleasing sense of fulfilment.

First task of the day?

Making the tea, and then straight into checking urgent tasks and emails – to help me plan my day.

Any top tips for managing your time? 

Lists, lists, and more lists!

What three small things always make your day better? 

The people I work with, food, and structure.

What do you enjoy most about working at Logic?

The family and caring-community vibe.

What’s for dinner and who’s cooking?

Because I plan and prep meals for the week ahead, not only do I cook dinner but I can also choose my meal based on what I am feeling on the day.

My favourite is a spicy, cheesy veg pasta.

How do you unwind in the evening?

Watching TV and talking about my day with my partner.

Quickfire questions

Favourite food? Any vegetable curry dish (I like it spicy!!)

Favourite film? Matilda (the original – I’ve watched it more than 30 times)
