Associate / Senior Financial Advisor, CFP®

Job Description

About Us

Maridea Wealth Management is a national, SEC-registered wealth management firm with more than $2 billion in client assets and 11 offices across the country. Our office in Gilbert, Arizona serves about 120 households, with a focus on comprehensive, long-term financial planning. That gives our clients the personal attention of a local team, backed by the resources of a national firm.

We are a small team that values clear communication, follow-through and doing right by our clients. In 2026, Maridea was named RIA Team of the Year in the InvestmentNews Awards, ranked sixth on Financial Advisor Magazine's list of the 50 fastest-growing RIAs and named one of Inc.'s Best Workplaces. We are looking for a professional in the Greater Phoenix Area to join our team.

About the Role

We are looking for a CFP® professional with a strong financial planning background and extensive experience as a client-facing advisor. You will work directly with our lead advisor to build the practice, delivering comprehensive financial plans, leading client conversations and deepening long-term relationships. A track record of business development is a big plus. We want someone who enjoys meeting prospective clients and turning those conversations into lasting client relationships.

This role may be designed as a path to succession. For the right person, it offers a clear opportunity to step into the lead advisor role and, over time, take over primary responsibility for the office's client relationships. You will work alongside our lead advisor to build trust with clients and gradually take the lead on their planning and service, so relationships carry forward smoothly.

The ideal candidate is a hard-working team player who is great with people and great with numbers. You are comfortable wearing many hats, show natural leadership and approach building a business like an entrepreneur. You will be a strong cultural fit for a fast-growing firm where everyone pitches in to help the practice succeed. You will collaborate closely with our local advisors, as well as Maridea's corporate and back-office teams, to build a great business together.
