Financial Planning Associate

Financial Planning Associate

Morton Wealth is currently looking for talented individuals who are interested in future opportunities for a Financial Planning Associate position. We are a registered investment advisor that was formed in 1981 and manages roughly $3 billion in assets across 1,200+ families. We manage wealth personally with the goal of empowering better investors and encouraging families to enjoy their lives. Our investment approach is distinctly not "Wall Street" as we are willing to look beyond traditional investments if we feel that alternative investments can more closely match our investment philosophy of risk management, true diversification and cash flow.

At Morton, our Financial Planning Associates play an important supportive role in the client experience as we believe that offering high-quality, nuanced financial planning is at the core of the value we bring to our clients. Working closely as a strategic partner with our Wealth Advisors, the core focus of this role is to advise high net worth clients on non-investment related financial planning subjects, including estate, insurance, tax, business and cash flow planning. In this role, you will have the opportunity to build relationships with our top clients, as well as participate in the growth of the company. Because we want our clients to have as strong of trust and relationship with our Financial Planning Associates as they do with their Wealth Advisor, each day offers opportunities to build your client-facing skillset, as well as planning acumen.

While we don't have any immediate openings for this role, we always appreciate the opportunity to meet with strong candidates for future consideration. If you are interested in speaking to us when a position does become available, please submit your resume and a member of our Human Capital Team will contact you to schedule an introductory call at the appropriate time.
