Job Description

Wealth Advisor / Future Equity Partner

Location: Orange County, CA (Preferred) | Los Angeles | San Diego | Las Vegas

About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a rapidly growing independent Registered Investment Advisor managing approximately $600 million in assets under management. Founded by experienced industry professionals who left a large institutional platform to build something different, the firm combines institutional-caliber resources with an entrepreneurial culture focused on client outcomes, innovation, and long-term partnership.

Unlike many consolidators and private-equity-backed organizations, this firm is intentionally building an environment where advisors have a voice, ownership opportunities, and the ability to help shape the future of the business.

The Opportunity

We are seeking experienced Wealth Advisors who have built meaningful client relationships and are looking for a better platform to grow.

This is not a traditional advisor role.

We are looking for professionals who want to help build a firm, contribute ideas, collaborate with peers, and participate in the long-term success of the organization through future equity and partnership opportunities.

If you are frustrated by bureaucracy, tired of being treated like a production number, or looking for a platform that values both growth and culture, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

Compensation

The structure is designed to reward long-term client retention, relationship growth, and contribution to the firm's success.

Qualified advisors may also have the opportunity to participate in future equity and partnership programs.
