Wealth Advisor - Service (Tampa)

JOB SUMMARY

The Wealth Advisor serves as a primary point of contact for client relationships, helping clients navigate financial decisions related to retirement, investments, tax planning, estate planning, risk management, and wealth transfer strategies. This role works closely with our advisory, planning, operations, and service teams to provide a proactive and high-touch client experience. Unlike many advisor roles, this position does not require building a book of business from scratch — you will transition into established client relationships, work with warm prospective clients generated by the firm, and focus on delivering financial advice and planning rather than prospecting.
