Cresset

About Cresset

Cresset is a firm built by clients, for clients. As an independent, award-winning multi-family office and private investment firm, we are reimagining the way wealth is experienced. Our purpose is to help ensure that both wealth and life are fully optimized**—integrated, intentional, and aligned with each client’s vision of success.

We provide access to the caliber of talent, ideas, and investment opportunities typically available to the largest single-family offices and institutions. Our approach is personalized, entrepreneurial, and client-first.

Cresset was built to endure. We are creating a 100+ year firm—one focused on delivering an exceptional experience, not only for the families we serve but for the team that serves them. Recognized by Barron’s among the nation’s top multi-family offices, * Cresset is guided by long-term relationships, shared success, and a belief that wealth should serve a life well lived.

Job Description

We are seeking an Associate, Private Wealth Client Services to support a collaborative team of

advisors serving a select group of high-net-worth families. This individual will play a critical role in managing day-to-day client service needs, coordinating complex operational matters, and delivering a high-touch client experience.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong service mindset who is looking to deepen their experience working with sophisticated clients while gaining exposure to all aspects of wealth management.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as a point of contact for client service and operational needs, delivering a responsive, high-quality experience
  • Support client onboarding, including account setup, asset transfers, and coordination of required documentation
  • Manage ongoing account maintenance (e.g., ownership changes, beneficiary updates, trust accounts, and related requests)
  • Coordinate cash movements, distributions, capital calls, charitable gifts, and other transactions with custodians and banking partners
  • Maintain accurate client records in Salesforce and support reporting needs
  • Organize and manage client documentation, including tax and legal materials
  • Partner with internal and external professionals (e.g., CPAs, attorneys) to ensure a seamless client experience
  • Assist advisors with meeting preparation, follow-ups, and ad hoc client requests
  • Take ownership of team initiatives and coordination, including driving key projects, facilitating weekly team meetings, and coordinating internal and external meetings
  • Proactively anticipate client and advisor needs, track outstanding items, and drive requests through completion
  • Identify opportunities to improve client service processes, workflows, and team efficiency

What Sets This Role Apart

  • Meaningful, direct exposure to experienced advisors and sophisticated client situations
  • Opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of portfolio management, planning, and client relationships
  • A clear path to take on increasing responsibility over time, based on performance and initiative

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree required; Finance, Business, Accounting, Economics or related coursework a plus
  • 2-4 years of experience in financial services, ideally supporting high-net-worth clients
  • Exceptional attention to detail
  • Strong organizational and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage multiple client requests and deadlines simultaneously
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate clearly and professionally with clients, advisors, custodians, CPAs, attorneys, and other professional partners
  • High level of professionalism, discretion, and client service orientation
  • Clear communicator with strong written and interpersonal skills
  • Self-starter with a willingness to take ownership and solve problems
  • Sound judgment, resourcefulness, and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving client service issues
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office; familiarity with Salesforce, Addepar, or custodial platforms is a plus

Who You Are

  • A utility player who thrives in a team collaborative environment
  • Naturally organized and proactive
  • Calm under pressure and responsive to client needs
  • Interested in building long-term career in wealth management
