Lead Financial Planner

Job Description

Drucker Wealth is looking to add a Lead Financial Planner CFP® professional with 6+ years of industry experience, preferably with a background as a Service Advisor, Associate Advisor or Paraplanner at a financial planning focused firm.

This is a unique opportunity to lead client relationships in the near future, without the requirement to bring in new clients or handle business development while contributing to the future growth of Drucker Wealth.

We are looking for a financial planner that wants to spend most of their time leading existing client relationships, closing (super warm!) prospects, providing meaningful financial advice, and delivering a proactive/excellent client experience to a growing number of clients.

This is a full-time and entirely remote W-2 position.

What You’ll Do

\n
• Day One: participate in client meetings (Discovery Meetings, Input Meetings, Delivery Meetings, Strategy Meetings, and Review Meetings) and take detailed notes; involvement and responsibility in meetings will rapidly increase with the hopes of independently leading client engagements in 3-6 months.
\n
• Present our Financial Life Plan® Program to prospective clients (who are already comfortable with our firm, fees, process, and structure) on our Discovery Meetings and, assuming they move forward, run the relationship from start to finish
\n
• Guide new clients through the Drucker Wealth Onboarding process: helping them to organize, link, and make sense of their financial “stuff”- liabilities, cash flow, investments, equity compensation, tax, education, employee benefits, business, insurance, estate planning, etc.
\n
• Deliver finalized financial plans (that our financial planning team helps build) to clients…clearly communicating our analysis, advice, recommendations while helping them move forward.
\n
• Proactively Manage Ongoing Client Relationships: prepare meeting agendas for review meeting season, proactively follow up with clients who have questions/updates, and ensure clients feel supported, heard, and taken care of.
\n
• Learn operational aspects of assigned clients (e.g., input data into various systems ie, Redtail, RightCapital set up/maintenance, etc.)
\n
• Communicate directly with our Operations team re: account openings, cash transfers, investment strategy, etc., and understand the flow of business
\n
• Learn and tweak established Drucker Wealth workflows and processes. We are organized and process-driven. Why? Well… we have bad memories, which means everything (and I mean everything) gets documented.
\n
• Participate in dedicated training sessions (technical financial planning, deliverables, client communication, etc.) while always looking to improve and add to our existing processes
\n

What We’re Looking For

\n
• CFP® designation or CFP® candidate

\n
• The firm is responsible for business development, prospecting, and sending warm prospects to our lead advisors on a regular basis. Your focus in growing your client relationships, assets under management, and managed revenue are done “merely” by delivering an excellent client experience.
\n
• We have no CAP on future advisors, team members, new clients, or opportunities. We have big plans for our team’s future, and every single team member is instrumental in building and designing that future.
\n

About Drucker Wealth

Hi! My name is Gideon Drucker CFP® AIF® ECA, President & CEO at Drucker Wealth.

Our Wealth Builder Division’s focus is in working with high income earning individuals and families (aged 35-55) that are motivated to build a financial roadmap for their future & want to do so with a trusted partner that will grow with them as their lives evolve.

We created this division approximately 7 years ago after I realized how much I love working with motivated professionals in the decades BEFORE retirement age. We want to be the team that our clients look to for help/guidance as they move through’s life’s milestones (marriage, kids, home purchase, education, career changes etc.) We will help get them there!

But more on that to come. Here’s a bit of background about our team:

We are an Independent RIA working virtually (with clients and team members around the country), with roots (and clients!) going back 3 generations! We are a family business and operate as such.

We operate with the mindset of “brutal honesty and radical transparency.”

We serve pre-retirees and Mid-Career HENRY’s (High Earners Not Rich Yet). I like to think that we have the best of both worlds when it comes to the financial planning/wealth management industry.

On one hand, we are a proven firm with a 70-year track record, longtime multi-generational clients that love us, and a strong 14-person team core infrastructure. In other words, we are not a pop-up shop, a startup, or an early-stage firm trying to build to a baseline level of competency. We are already there.

At the same time, we are a rapidly evolving financial planning firm that is adaptable/nimble and in the midst of exponential growth inside of our Wealth Builder Division...which is why we are looking for another financial advisor to start working with all of the clients walking through our (metaphorical) door.

Our vision/goal is to become a one-stop shop for ANYTHING in our clients' world with a dollar sign attached to it. As such, we have been incorporating tax planning & estate planning part of our core financial planning offerings over the last few years. We launched Drucker Tax LLC for wealth management clients looking for tax filing help and we hired an estate planning specialist to help coordinate our clients' estate planning affairs.

Simply put, we believe the future of wealth management is the integration of financial planning, tax prep/planning, estate coordination, and investment management. The firms who do this will grow/scale and those that don't, well....

Along with our planning-first mentality, we believe that we are building the firm of the future:

\n
1. We heavily utilize modern technology to make our work efficient, both internally and externally, as we collaborate with clients. We are early adopters across the board.
\n
2. A turnkey business development program that brings us warm prospects that fit our niche on a weekly basis…we communicate to prospects/clients in a more authentic (I would call it “human”) way than the wealth management world is known for.
\n
3. We have separated out business development duties (the firm) from client relationship & advice duties (the advisor). We think this leads to more growth, happier clients and everyone doing what they're BEST at.
\n
4. A focus on life planning- Our planning is not just about “when can you retire??” but focused on family planning, education, home ownership, career changes, work-life optional life planning, travel & sabbatical planning etc.
\n
5. Our clientele is mostly high income earning dual income households, with kids under college age, aggressive lifestyle/retirement goals, and a net worth that will ultimately be (but is not yet) $5mm+. We are building our firm to grow/evolve as they do.
\n

Our company's core values are:

• Optimism • Passion • Gritty • Being Proactive
