How should I ask to get promoted?

I’m almost 2 years in the company. My manager told me that I’ll get promoted this year but I wanted to get the promotion before the 2 year mark. They hired a senior 6 months ago who was a former controller in a small company. Before that, duties of the former senior were transferred to me. And now I am transitioning some of my items to the new senior. I always catch a lot pf mistakes from his work when reviewing it.

How can i assert myself into promotion?

Here's the secret: your boss can promote any time but if he wants to give you money, he has to convince his boss to open the wallet.

Putting pressure on your boss does nothing. If he says this year, it's this year. Don't press it.

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
