Client Service Associate

Client Service Associate - Wealth Management

• Salary: Up to $90,000 + 15-20% Bonus
• Location: Bethesda, MD
• Office Situation: Hybrid - 4 days onsite / 1 day remote; candidates open to 5 days onsite are welcome

Why This Opportunity Stands Out


If you already have experience within an RIA or independent wealth management environment and are looking for an opportunity where you can take on more responsibility, work directly with clients and continue building your career, this could be an excellent next step.


This growing wealth management firm is looking for a Client Service Associate to join its Bethesda team. This is a great opportunity for someone with RIA/wealth management experience who is ready to take the next step, work directly with clients and broaden their exposure across client service and investment account operations.


You'll work closely with experienced industry professionals while gaining broader exposure to client relationships, investment account operations, custodial processes, cashiering and money movement.

• Excellent growth potential - potential career paths include Client Service, Operations/Integrations and eventually Financial Advisory for someone interested in that direction
• Broaden your wealth management experience - expand your exposure across client service, investment account operations and advisor support
• Hands-on leadership and development - work closely with an experienced manager while taking ownership of your responsibilities
• Growing organization - join at an exciting stage as the firm continues to expand
• High visibility - work within a smaller team where your contributions will be noticed
• Autonomy without micromanagement - ideal for someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems and getting things done
• Strong bonus opportunity - 15-20% bonus, paid quarterly based on individual and company performance
• Hybrid flexibility - 4 days onsite with 1 remote day
• Benefits include medical, dental and vision coverage, 401(k), PTO and company holidays
