Financial Planning Specialist — CFP® (Tampa)

Join a nationally recognized boutique wealth management firm and help build the plans that define our clients' financial futures.

Walser Wealth Management is a premium boutique wealth management firm headquartered in Tampa, FL, with a national practice serving high-income professionals, business owners, retirees, and high-net-worth families. Founded by Rebecca Walser, JD, LLM, MBA - tax attorney, bestselling author, and nationally ranked financial advisor - we are known for challenging conventional financial thinking and redefining what wealth management looks like.

We are the creators of the Living Financial Plan™ - a dynamic, adaptive planning approach built on our Fiscal House framework. Rather than static snapshots, our plans are living documents that evolve with our clients' lives. Our philosophy integrates income planning, advanced tax mitigation, portfolio construction, estate strategy, healthcare planning, and risk management into one comprehensive, cohesive structure - designed to maximize wealth while strategically minimizing taxes over a client's lifetime.

We don't follow Wall Street's playbook. We anticipate, not react. If that philosophy resonates with you, we want to meet you.

About the role

We are hiring two Financial Planning Specialists to support our growing national practice. These are non-client-facing roles designed for CFP® professionals who love the craft of financial planning - building, analyzing, and maintaining comprehensive plans without the pressure of sales or client relationship management.

Each specialist will be embedded across both our sales and servicing teams, serving as an interchangeable planning resource. You may be building a new plan from scratch for a prospective client one day and updating an existing plan to reflect a new money event the next. This cross-functional model ensures flexibility, continuity, and a high standard of planning quality across the firm.

A critical part of this role is deeply learning, understanding, and embracing the Walser Wealth way of doing things. You will be trained on our Fiscal House framework and Living Financial Plan™ methodology, and all plans you produce must be congruent with our investment philosophy and planning approach. Alignment with our philosophy is not optional - it is the foundation of every plan we build.
