What We Are Looking For We’re expanding our team with people who share our vision and want to add real, lasting value to our clients – people who think about how we can do things better, make an impact, and grow together. We’re looking for an Associate Financial Advisor to join our team and support our lead advisor, playing a key role in retaining existing relationships while helping develop new ones. This is a full-time, salaried position with a clear path to grow into a full advisor role, including potential for succession. The attributes that we are looking for in a teammate include: A proactive, results-driven and client-centric attitude. Communicates clearly and explains things in a simple, relatable way.

Natural self-starter with strong time management and prioritization skills. Keen attention to detail and the ability to work independently. A true team player who collaborates closely to ensure the best outcome every time. Strong communication and interpersonal skills. Humility and quick responsiveness to client questions. A long view of the opportunities the firm and the industry present. Who You Are You’re early-to-mid career in financial services, with hands-on experience supporting an advisor as an Associate Financial Advisor or paraplanner. You see this as a launching pad – you’re motivated to grow into a full advisory role, not stay behind the scenes indefinitely. You take genuine ownership of client relationships and want to be a trusted point of contact, not just support staff. You’re organized enough to juggle multiple client workflows without anything slipping through the cracks. You want to be in the room - part of the day-to-day energy of growing a team. You either hold your CFP or are working toward it, and you want a firm that will invest in getting you there. What You Will Do Partner with the lead advisor to build and refine client financial plans using eMoney, Holistiplan and Income Lab. Sit in on client meetings, capture the details that matter, and turn them into clear summary letters and thorough follow-up. Produce polished, accurate client deliverables – and keep a close eye on account alerts so nothing falls through the cracks. Dig into each client’s goals and risk profile to make sure their plan truly reflects their life, not just the numbers. Build real relationships with clients – learning their circumstances, their people, their interests, and what matters most to them. Be a reliable, responsive voice for clients, resolving questions and concerns quickly and thoughtfully. Stay sharp on what’s happening in financial planning and investing, and bring fresh ideas back to the team. What You Bring to the Table B.A. or B.S. in Business. Series 7 and Series 66 (63 and 65) required. 2-3 years of experience in financial services, in a similar role. Prior experience as an Associate Financial Advisor or Paraplanner required.
