Job Description

Financial Advisor
We are working with a fee-only Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), providing comprehensive retirement planning services and tax-optimized investment management services. Using a holistic planning approach, our client manages over $11.05 billion in assets and services clients across the nation. 

Why become an Advisor? We provide specialized support so that our Advisors can spend their time where they need to – in front of clients, managing the client relationship, and providing comprehensive financial planning advice. Below are examples of how we provide support to our Advisors:

• Marketing & Business Development – We generate the leads so that our Advisors don’t have to invest their time on marketing efforts. We have teams focused on marketing and business development to handle calls from numerous prospective clients – people that want to sit down with an experienced financial professional. We also set the appointments, so that the Advisor can spend the time meeting with prospective clients, gaining a better understanding of their needs and how we can help them meet their financial goals.
• Financial Planning – Our extensive Financial Planning department is comprised of dedicated, experienced financial professionals who partner with our Advisors and provide comprehensive and detailed advice on all aspects (financial planning, tax planning, estate planning, retirement planning, etc.) of the client’s life.
• Investment Management – Our trading department works with Advisors on managing the client’s portfolio in a tax-optimized way – daily rebalancing, tax loss harvesting, asset location, etc.
• Operations and Client Services – We have client service teams to handle everything – they work with the custodians to ensure all transactions are taken care of and take the paperwork off the Advisor’s “to-do” list!
• Unparalleled Professional Development – Advisors receive constant training on new regulations, concepts, planning ideas, etc. We are dedicated to providing growth and development to not only our Advisors but all members of our team.

Requirements:

• The financial advisors are generally required to be CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professionals, Certified Public Accountants, or Chartered Financial Analysts, and have at least five years of financial planning experience.
• Ability to assess a prospective client’s needs and their financial goals.
• A solid understanding of retirement planning, estate planning, tax planning, cash flow, investment and asset allocation strategies, and risk management.
• Effective communication skills. Ability to deliver comprehensive financial plans to clients.
• Previous experience teaching classes or presenting is a plus.

Additional Details:

• Salaried position + Benefits.
• Starting base salary: $140,000; however, salary will move to a variable compensation structure (that exceeds the base salary) if/when certain milestones are achieved.
• Salary may also be based on factors including, but not limited to, experience, licenses/certifications, industry knowledge, and ability to bring clients subject to contractual release.

Benefits package includes health (medical, dental, and vision insurance), FSA and/or HSA plans, group and voluntary life/accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance, long-term disability insurance (LTD), a 401(k) plan with an enhanced employer match, including pre-tax, Roth and after-tax contributions, as well as a generous paid time off policy.
